In the stock market section of the New York Times on October 4, 2002, a collection of words was printed, which had been selected by people living in New York with different native languages. The aim was to capture as many languages spoken in New York as possible and translate them into the respective other languages.
218 words in 218 languages resulted in 47,524 words, which were arranged in tables on a total of eight pages.
The project was realized as part of the Moment art series of Deutsche Bank. Almost 25 years after its appearance, Karin Sander's translinguistic sculpture is more relevant than ever.
The conversation with the artist will be moderated by Sara Bernshausen, Deputy Director of PalaisPopulaire.
- The Artist's Talk takes place as part of the exhibition Seeing Words, Reading Images.
- The exhibition is open until 7 pm.
