Poems and Pictures: A Renaissance in the Art of the Book (1946-1981)
@ The Center for Book & Paper Arts
1104 S Wabash, 2nd Fl, Chicago
Opening Thursday, February 9th, from 5PM - 7PM
On view through Saturday, April 7th
Curated by Kyle Schlesinger
February 9 – April 7, 2012
This exhibition, originally organized for the The Center for Books Arts by Kyle Schlesinger, features books, paintings, collages, periodicals, and ephemera that explore fundamental relationships between form and content; seeing and reading; writing and drawing; and the extraordinary occasions when these things and activities fuse, introducing a third element.
Poets, artists, and collaborators in this exhibition include Wallace Berman, Joe Brainard, Robert Creeley, Jim Dine, Johanna Drucker, Philip Guston, Joanne Kyger, Emily McVarish, Karen Randall, Larry Rivers, George Schneeman, and many more. Together they share in the common objective of bringing bold new writing into print where commercial presses fear to tread, and to do so with imagination and intelligence.
