Opening Reception: August 27, 6 pm

The task of the translator is tricky and threefold: translation, interpretation and transmission. One must decipher
meaning in context and through time, and minimize potentials for information loss in its delivery. At times legibility
is at odds with fidelity, and conversion degrades resolution of meaning. There is no lossless transfer and every
translation betrays the bias of interpretation.

X is a letter but also a question, an unknown variable that bears the treasure lost to time or deliberate obfuscation.
The problem of perception is simple: the more certain you are of what’s in front of you, the harder it is to see
anything else.

Put plainly, Seek and you shall find.
