Comprised of the artist’s signature use of cartographic and design elements, the show offers a world view that reads at first superficially, but later blooms to full depth. The show title, taken from linguistics, refers to a mash up of languages and speech patterns, building on Rodriguez’s examination of cultural hybridity, and reinforcing his place at the forefront of this contemporary art trend for pseudo-sociological examination.
