Poetry: Literal, Visual and Otherwise,
Art can be looked at. Poetry is be read. But what of the opposite? Can art be READ and poetry LOOKED AT?
Thus begins the premise of the December exhibition at moniquemeloche. Poetry: Literal, Visual and Otherwise is a group show curated by local graphic designer, renaissance-man, and cultural dilettante Jason Pickleman. Known as one of Chicago’s most innovative graphic artists (with clients including the Renaissance Society, The Museum of Contemporary Photography and The Steppenwolf Theater), Pickleman has plundered his own private collection of art, objects and ephemera to produce an art exhibition that brings the rhythm and specificity of language to the forefront of the gallery going experience.
