The Calling is a solo-exhibition of Australian artist Angelica Mesiti. Featuring a work of the same name, The Calling (2013-2014) is a three-channel film about alternative structures of language that connect at times disparate and remote communities. Focusing on 'whistling' as a speech act, as well as an economy and pedagogy in the Canary Islands, Greece and Turkey - The Calling looks at forms of non-verbal communication and ancient modes of exchange in contemporary culture - that while remote maintain a connection to the past in an ever-growing and inextricably digitized world.
