More about Dots and Dashes :
Dots and Dashes, is an exhibition about patterns and
their place within systems. The exhibition title refers to
the series of tones that comprise Morse Code – a method
of transmitting textual data. The artworks displayed in
Dots and Dashes reveal an affinity for repetitive mark
making and recurring formal elements. Some of the works
faithfully communicate the complexity of patterns found
in nature and man made structures, while others distill this
complexity into simple geometric forms. Organic systems,
diagrams of consumption, maps, and human history are
among the many issues explored through the selected
artworks. Dots and Dashes is curated by Christina Vassallo
as part of the Myrtle Ave Brooklyn Partnership Curator-in-
Residence program.
