If Then Else
Artist(s)
LAb[au]
28.9 –5.1.20
LAb[au] is composed of Manuel Abendroth, Jérôme Decock and Els Vermang, based in Brussels, Belgium. In their practice, the artists investigate the relation between art and language not only by means of written words and other forms of coded language, semantics, but also through signs, or semiotics. Likewise, they take a linguistic approach, employing information and communication science in the field of art.
The exhibition title – If Then Else – is an expression in programming logic, a conditional statement stemming from language philosophy. Accordingly, propositional logic allows relating algorithmic and conceptual thinking through linguistics – which constitutes the focus of the exhibition.
