I’m really happy that following my exhibition at Bouda Gallery, four poets will be following me with their own exhibition, as a way of announcing their new collective, which will likely be a feature of the British modern contemporary innovative literary and art scene for the foreseeable future. All four of them are talents, Danica Ignacio, Eleanor Wilders, Matt Sokulsky and Cameron Wade.
Their exhibition will be open for many days during August, Weds to Saturday from August 9th, 12 to 5pm, with more details here https://london.czechcentres.cz/en/program/the-sun-can-be-an-ipla-collective-exhibition “The Sun Can Be: an IPLA collective exhibition, showcases the works of four young British-based poets operating in the fields of visual poetry, experimental textual poetry, text art, and the asemic. The works of the exhibition range from multimedia poetry, self-portraiture, and 3D poetry to typewriter art, lino print, and a prose-puzzle poem series exhibiting material, form and method as conveyors of shifting, alternate realities. From a triptych of calligrams that echo the Surrealism of Guillaume Apollinaire to a series of text art pieces, to conceptual poetry that reinterprets perspective. The Sun Can Be expands on these themes through unconventional and diversified aesthetics that redefine traditional poetry, and serves as a translation of the artistic intentions of the IPLA poets.”
There are six events all told, all visible here https://inparentheses.cargo.site/ all free and at 7pm. I’ll be performing on the 16th and 23rd of August, seen below.
