/mit ðə detə/: Source Materials Visualized presents artists’ books, book-related artworks, and text-based new media that are visual interpretations, extrapolations, and recontextualizations of researched source materials such as data analysis, surveying, mapping, plotting, data mining, statistics, analytics, observations, and schemes. In keeping with the theme, the exhibition title includes the phrase “Meet the data” rendered phonetically. The exhibition features artist members of the Center as well as invited artists to further the discourse of the exhibition’s theme. Jen Bervin is a Brooklyn-based visual artist and writer whose works often combine text and textiles with strong conceptual elements and a minimalist's eye for the poetic and essential. Her exibitions and books have been covered in national and international publications and media outlets such as NPR, The Nation, Artforum, Art in America, Frieze, and The New York Times. Bervin has taught at Harvard University, Yale University, and Brown University, where she was a 2015 Fitt Artist-in-Residence. The exhibition is curated by Alexander Campos and Heidi Neilson and runs until September 19. More information here.
