L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E
"L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E" is a conceptual work by artist Robert Smithson, created in 1968. It is often associated with the Language Poetry movement, which emphasizes the materiality of language and challenges traditional forms of poetry. The title itself, presented in a unique format, reflects the idea that language can be deconstructed and examined as an art form.
The piece consists of a series of visual and textual elements that explore the relationship between language and meaning. By manipulating the presentation of words, Smithson invites viewers to reconsider how language shapes our understanding of reality and communication.
