‘Critical Dictionary’ is a new group show inspired by Georges Bataille’s infamous anti-dictionary for the dissident Surrealist journal Documents (Paris, 1929-30). This engaging group exhibition takes a range of themes and asks artists working across different media to generate dialogues around the subject of text and the many ways in which it can be interpreted. Often taking an ‘original’ artwork or piece of writing as inspiration, artists including Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin, Simon Cunningham, Simon Faithfull, Karen Knorr and Chloé Regan explore and expand curator David Evans’s previous iterations of the project, first developed as a virtual one and later published by Black Dog Publishing.
