Language Barrier by Alina and Jeff Blumis

Language Barrier is an ongoing project by Alina and Jeff Bliumis, artists originally from the former Soviet Union. For the site-specific Language Barrier, Lower Manhattan, the artists selected five different locations, each chosen for its contemporary and historical significance and will intervene along various corridors with piles of foam dictionaries. Practical and theoretical considerations meet formally during this ephemeral urban intervention, making visible our daily negotiation of barriers both physical and social.
