A beautifully made anthology alongside a group show in Greece, the Text Isles exhibition takes place 17-24 Sep 2021 in the Art Park Gallery / Archipoli, 85106 in Rhodes. Another remarkable, and actually pioneering, project from Poem Atlas and Astra Papachristodoulou. I certainly have not been involved in a bigger happening exploring textiles and poetry. https://www.poematlas.com/text-isles
My works for the show and the book are asemic animals. Creatures taking upon their bodies and the abstract poetry so important to my practise.
UK-based visual poets come together for a unique show at the first international exhibition of Poem Atlas
Poem Atlas presents its first international exhibition TEXT-ISLES, an exhibition of visual poetry featuring a range of innovative poets that examines materiality through the lens of text and textiles. Although wide-ranging in approach, the work produced as part of this show could be broadly characterised as a collection of material or sculptural poems, in which materiality, texture and movement are harnessed to retell, reimagine, and reorient our relationship to the environment and materials that stratify us.
