TALK TO THE HAND

7 January to 15 February 2015
Opening Reception: Wednesday, 7 January, 6-8pm
175 Rivington Street, New York

LYNCH THAM is pleased to present Talk to the Hand, a group exhibition, on view from Wednesday, 7 January to Sunday, 15 February 2015.

With Luisa Caldwell, Carlo Ferraris, Richard Long, Marcello Maloberti, Bruce Nauman, Richard Serra, Haim Steinbach, Wang Jingyu, Alona Weiss, and Martin Wong, the exhibition examines how hand gestures are used as a mode of non-verbal communication in which gestures communicate specific messages, either in place of, or in conjunction with language.

Examining how artists are using a variety of seminal hand codes in their work, the exhibition includes a good many gestural recognition for everything from mundane activities like salutation, masturbation, reading and writing, to emotive expressions of praise and criticism.

Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 10am to 6pm, Sunday, 12pm to 6pm, Monday and Tuesday by appointment.
