Observing Translation

41 Cooper Gallery - New York City

2012

​

Observing Translation marked the first collaboration between artists Tyler Gathro and Yarminiah Rosa. The work aimed to present a variety of emotions, from anger and apathy to compassion and joy through language and the human body. The 17 works used vocal tone, staging, photography, and/or the written word to provoke viewers to consider translation and human interaction as art. The artwork only exists because you are. How are thoughts, relations, and experiences are interpreted and translated is what defines life as performance, art object, and/or story.
