Exhibition Overview
Adventurous, playful and provocative, LIKE: An Experiment in Interpretation explores the 'translation' of an object between media:
from the physical to the written, and then back to the physical. LIKE
takes an object, a writer and a group of jewellers on a rigorous
expedition of exploration and interpretation. One object given to Bill
Manhire to interpret in verse results in an array of objects in
translation. The jewellers have deciphered the text and through their
individual interpretation made the resultant objects. The objects are
both similar and wildly different raising questions in regard to
perception, interpretation and the process of making.
