UNHOLY ALPHABET
Solo exhibition by Samuel Brzeski
September 3d - 19th.
🥂 Opening: Thursday September 3d, 5-8 pm.
--
The Unholy Alphabet is a total negation of the linguistic sign. Born from a pit of cancelled language, the letters of the Roman alphabet have been torn apart, ripped to shreds to form something that is more image than sign. Taking inspiration from the illegible semantics of Black Metal—the unreadable logos and incomprehensible vocal utterances—the Unholy Alphabet is a language outside of sense. It is something from the depths that conveys more feeling than meaning.
Made in collaboration with designer Ben King, with support from Nordic Culture Point.

Samuel Brzeski (UK/NO) is an artist, writer and publisher working with language as raw material. He is particularly interested in how the use of both voice and language are instrumental in the formation of subjectivity and the enforcement of hierarchies.
Brzeski studied Literature at University of Sheffield, Art at Bergen Art Academy, and was a participant at Jan van Eyck Academie (Maastricht), Maumaus Independent Study Program (Lisbon) and The Mountain School of Arts (Los Angeles). As an extension of his practice, he runs ۷ıცཞąɬıơŋąƖ ʂɛɱąŋɬıƈʂ ℘ཞɛʂʂ , publishing texts, scores, and sound works from creative practitioners who work with voice and language. Samuel is based between Bergen, Norway and Maastricht, Netherlands.
