Olivia is a new and emerging artist based in Montreal, Canada, who recently graduated from the University of South Florida in the Visual and Media Arts Program. Her work has been exhibited at the National Gallery of Canada, the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Art, and the National Gallery of Canada. She is working on her first solo exhibit at the Gallery.
Olivia’s work seems to be informed by a fascination with language, and her new project, is olivia ponton gay (the title is a play on the term ‘the language games’), is a series of images in which she asks us to imagine or suggest words and phrases to her.
As someone who has spent a considerable amount of time in the visual arts program, it’s always a bit of a shock to me how much I gravitate toward language. Language is one of those things that can be both empowering and threatening. On one side, it’s the language of the abstract, of the impossible. It’s the language that allows you to have a conversation with another species.
On the other side, the language of the mundane. Its the language that allows you to communicate with animals, and by extension humans. Its the language of those who live in the woods and the fields, and of those who have very little or no words. Its the language of those who are illiterate, and of those who are literate but completely lacking in vocabulary. Its the language that allows us to talk to the birds and the bees.
So why is the language that lets us communicate with animals, and of course, those that communicate in other species, so important? I think it’s because the language can provide us with an understanding of how these other species think, feel, and behave. Language is a way of creating a shared understanding of the world which allows us to make a connection with them.
One of the main reasons why we have language in the first place is the ability to communicate with other humans. And with birds and bees, and in our own brains. A few other examples: our ability to communicate with the internet when we’re online, our understanding of and interest in the universe, and even the simple act of communicating with other people.
Language is still a very important part of the human experience. But it is not the only part. Language, like all other forms of communication, is the tool that allows us to get our message across to the world around us. And it is very important to understand that language is only a tool to help us communicate. No one can communicate with you without having language. It is the language you use to communicate with each other.
Language is the key to communication, and it is very important to know that it is not the primary tool you use to communicate. It is just a component of communication. Because language, as we have seen, is the very thing that makes it possible for us to communicate with each other. And it is the very thing that is used by the people who are able to use language the most effectively, the people who are most successful in communicating with each other.
Language is an amazing tool. But it is not the only tool, and it is not the most important tool. It is only one of the tools. Language is only one tool in our communication toolbox. And in the words of Einstein, language is just a piece of the puzzle. Language is a building block. Language is a very small piece of the communication puzzle, and it just happens to be the smallest piece in the puzzle.
And it all boils down to the fact that language is an amazing tool to communicate with people. There are lots of ways to communicate with people. How we use language isn’t always about how smart we are, but when we use language we’re doing something very special for a reason.
