UNSAID, A PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION BY SACI MFA ’17 ALUMNUS, ANDREW GATTI, DEBUTS AT THE SACI NEW YORK GALLERY THIS SPRING

On View: February 13, 2020 – May 21, 2020

A series of photographic images paired with written sounds (phonetics), which aims to visually represent the dislocated joint that exists between language and media; An indirect correspondence between symbols and sounds, and sounds and ideas.

This series of work, made over three years from 2017-2019, engages in a reimagining of written pronunciations, as sounds, disassociated from their true meaning by representing them photographically, engendering new relationships for the ideas represented by the original word.

Opening Reception: Thursday, February 13th starting at 6:00pm
