Text as Art is a catalog that captures the shift in the art world witnessed in the 1960s with the emergence of expression through semantic content, utilizing the intellectual software of visual language as well as the structural hardware. The works within the catalog address the deconstruction of verbal language as a filter or bias that inescapably manipulates the reader’s response, making words the new material and emphasizing on what lies under the surface, positioning meaning at the forefront. Text as art aims to achieve more with less, propagating a kind of visual art that is less visual.
