Abstract

In the context of communication, especially dialogic and generative approach to expression of culture, the concept of Art can seem as the best mode of conveyance. Such enunciation of culture through Art is substantiated by capturing all the sufficient properties of the subject of Art through language. Simply put, language is employed to describe, comprehend and communicate ideas represented in Art by having concrete sets of communicative principles that governs meaning. This paper argues such governance of meaning by language limits the potentiality of Art. It proposes the inherent obscurity in defining Art operates as a radical deconditioning through which any attempt to fix the representational meaning of Art by language is resisted. Specifically, the paper considers such resistance with the use of word ‘ANTARA’ as an exhibition concept in which works that were shown are inextricably bound by the mutual conditionality relation between language occurrence and specificity of cultural expression.
