Dena Yago

September 6 – October 18, 2014

Based in writing and poetry, Dena Yago's work tethers objects and images to ground language in explicit everyday encounters. Thinking through co-habitation and survivalism in contemporary urban environments, Yago playfully inverts common metonymic usage. From the intimate, identity-forming use of proper nouns, to the detached ambiguity of common nouns, meaning slides between the specific and abstract, altering relational proximity. 

 
White Flag Library is an auxiliary exhibition program of White Flag Projects.
