Visual Poetry and Water and Land at MAINSITE 2021

Описание: Executive Director, Erinn Gavaghan, shares an overview of Katherine Liontas-Warren's "Water and Land" and "Visual Poetry on the Page: With, Within, and Without the Word," which was curated by Crag Hill. Both Katherine and Crag also share their thoughts on the exhibitions.

Water and Land is a collection of recent works by Liontas-Warren centered on the passages, time and motion, and the symbolism water and land have come to represent in those concepts.

Visual Poetry on the Page: With, Within and Without the Word explores a movement that asks viewers to read the works as visual art. Unlike concrete, written poems, a visual poem “typically includes many other elements than alphabetic text,” including any number of mediums or artist manipulation, including painting, photos, digital manipulation or any other means to “obliterate the boundary between visual arts and literature.”

Open to in-person viewing beginning on Wednesday, January 13 through Saturday, February 13, 2021.
