Poems and Pictures

 
Curated by Kyle Schlesinger
Time: 16 February – 7 April 2012
Location: Center for Book & Paper Arts, Chicago, USA

The exhibition 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.  This exhibition was previously mounted at the New York Center for the Book among other venues.
