Morse code, which entailed a system of dot and dash radio signals and was often utilised as a language of distress at sea, was phased out after 130 years in favour of new digital communications. Inspired by this final poetic phrase, here Mesiti interprets its original dots and dashes through music, choreography, non-verbal communication and sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAngelica Mesiti: A Communion of Stranger Gestures includes text from Justin Clemens and François Quintin, contributions from Alexie Glass-Kantor, Michelle Newton, Talia Linz, JD Reforma, Lola Pinder and Elyse Goldfinch (Artspace, Sydney), Jacqueline Doughty and Melissa Keys (Ian Potter Museum of Art, Melbourne), and Angela Goddard and Bree Richards (Griffith University Art Museum, Brisbane).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(Book, Blue, Fabric hard cover, Cream text, depressed impression of Morse Code over text)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN - 978-1-760640-14-9\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artspace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43748011933773,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}]}],"url":"https:\/\/store.artspace.org.au\/collections\/frontpage.oembed","provider":"Artspace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
