Catalogue Note

“His practice explores the mediating position of language between the author and the reader, as well as the active-to-passive-to-reactive flow of the force of a word upon an object and how the meaning of that word is then transmitted” (Paul Teasdale, 'In Focus: Michael Dean', Frieze, 1 November 2011, online).
