Ligament . 1984
Caland’s diaspora, which brought her into contact with, for example, Beirut’s political tensions, Paris’s utopian liberalism and the bohemian decadence of Venice Beach, frames her artistic production, bringing into focus the dynamic relationship between art-making and the evolving global landscape as experienced by diasporic subjects. The exhibition also foregrounds Caland’s visual and written languages, where bodies, words and other forms seem to converse and meld into each other to form new lexicons unavailable to regular speech.
