FEATURING... Exponential at The Brick
Featuring, in no particular order:
with Leonie Bell and Andrew Murdock
This is a fake scientific experiment about the relationship between hoarders and airplanes. This is the nostalgizing and repurposing of memories to avoid misanthropy. This is immersive fan-fiction about the trips our parents went on. Don’t worry, snacks will be provided. Avanti popolo!

L’iat (Language is a Thing), or the Institute for Semiotic Materialism, is a recently formed multidisciplinary artist collective based in New York. We began working together as an attempt to foster a practice that is implicitly communal, where the individual ego is subverted and mocked. Revolving around an interest in strategic games, maps, sci-fi, and the ambiguity of historical narrative, L’iat humorously critiques the idea of American exceptionalism and lampoons the suburban white male. Synthesizing various media in a playful manner that mocks the pedantic, we question assumptions of how we understand the past.
Current Members Include: Melissa Cha, David Colannino, James Falzone, Eliza Walton, & Bradford Willingham
