NOTA: LA FECHA INDICADA ES SÓLO ORIENTATIVA.
With a nod to Surrealism and its use of everyday materials, subversion of common objects, and incorporation of poetic language, this exhibition celebrates how the characteristics of the poème-objet (poem-object) are present in contemporary art. The works in The Artist as Poet span decades and represent how language––specifically poetry––is used in contemporary art, while shedding light on Surrealism’s influence. The exhibition includes works by Guillaume Apollinaire, André Breton, Joseph Cornell, Aimée Garcia, Leandro Katz, Gordon Matta-Clark, Leyden Rodríguez-Casanova, and Tim Rollins + K.O.S. (Kids of Survival).
These artists have experimented with language in myriad ways, by incorporating text in the works themselves and by giving the works poetic or playful titles. Language can be subversive in a descriptive and literal way, not only when it functions metaphorically. The idea of using language to subvert the function of an object is what all these artists have...in common. Selected from PAMM’s permanent collection, these works explore what it means to classify the “artist as poet.”
