An opening reception will be held Wednesday, November 7 from 5 7 p.m. A curators talk will be given at 6:30 p.m. The annual Ramapo Curatorial Prize is co-administered with the Center for Curatorial Studies graduate program at Bard College. The 2006 winner was Bogota, Columbia curator Mariangela Mendez for her group exhibition, In Other Words. This conceptual presentation deals with the ambiguities of language translation, media narratives and the temporary completeness of reading. As part of Mendezs master of arts thesis for In Other Words, she explained, the instruments of so-called globalization and worldwide circulation of information convey the impression that these paths of transmission and translation are neutral. The task of the translator might be seen as one that sacrifices fidelity in exchange for transmissibility, so resorting to the famous Italian epigram TraduttoreTraditore! the supposed neutrality of translation is called into question. Translations are screening devices, she contends, in the same way television, the Internet or exhibition space screens information, excluding and including images for the control of meaning and signifiers. The works translated for this exhibition are affected by the new hosting context, the viewers, the proximity to other works and by the curators intentions. On exhibit are works by Francois Bucher, Antonio Caro, Adriana Duque, Artemio Narro, Lucas Ospina, Catalina Rodriguez and Miguel Angel Rojas that question the power the media has when circulating translations of events; they question the viewers relationship to places as informed by media, violence as filtered through the Hollywood entertainment machine and history understood as a construction of unequivocal facts. The works require a kind of double reading -- an ability to recognize the space between languages, and the hybrid sites of meaning that form in the gaps of cultures. They invite viewers to suspect the technical capacities, practices and institutions that create reality, politics or history and to see in fiction the truth and also what is hidden. This program is made possible in part by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts. The Pascal Gallery is located in the Berrie Center for Performing and Visual Arts at 69ɫƵ. Hours are Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 1 to 5 p.m. and Wednesday, 1 to 7 p.m. For more information, call 201.684.7147. # # ./TUVhi}~%0>0 >   ĵ 6B*ph6556 B*phjCJOJQJU0JCJOJQJjCJOJQJUjCJOJQJU CJOJQJ$%W )$dha$$a$$`a$dh``$`a$dh$%W )/ =!"#$%DyK yK 4mailto:cyburns@ramapo.eduDyK cdavey@ramapo.eduyK 2mailto:cdavey@ramapo.edu i4@4NormalCJOJPJQJmH <@< Heading 1$@&5CJOJQJ@@ Heading 2$$dh@&a$5PJ00 Heading 3$@&588 Heading 4$@&`5<A@<Default Paragraph Font<B@< Body Text$dha$ B*phBP@B Body Text 2$dha$ 5B*ph.U@.
