Adam David Brown - Index
Artist’s statement:
“The Oxford English Dictionary is just like other dictionaries in that it represents a kind of universal library of words. But it is unlike other English dictionaries in that it attempts to provide a biography for each word. The words are traced back to their earliest written sources, usually dating back to antiquity. The history of the English language is that it expanded by colonizing and appropriating many other languages from around the globe. Index cross-references the O.E.D with the notion of a geological core sample, which alters the architecture of the dictionary and makes it strange. Index looks at language in geological terms as though the dictionary was the source of meaning. The result is a conceptual transgression that ruptures the empirical function of the dictionary and repositions it as an object under investigation.”

The group essentially comprised the modernist avant-garde and was devoted to the idea of the unity of the arts and mass production.
