Western Front Presents BETWEEN YOUR HAND AND MY HEAD.  Western Front Exhibitions is pleased to present BETWEEN YOUR HAND AND MY HEAD, a group exhibition that explores artistic representations of "handwritten" text. While negotiating areas between communicative, transformative, semiotic and social functions of the written word, handwritten text is as much an expressive and meandering marker of identity and subjectivity as it is a device of strict formal and aesthetic convention. Attuned to the shifting indeterminacies between private conception and public interpretation, works in this exhibition navigate the multiple roles of handwritten text, finding overlaps between strategies of design and information, expression and conceptual investigation.  604.876.9343, https://www.front.bc.ca
