COLLAGES by KEITH WALDROP
March 26, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
FreeOpening Reception:
Tuesday, March 26, 6:00–9:00 pm
Seventy-two exquisite & vivid minuscule works by the acclaimed poet, translator, and copublisher of Burning Deck Press.
In a “Statement on Collage” from 1994, Keith Waldrop distinguishes two primary directions, typified by Max Ernst and Kurt Schwitters. Waldrop tends generally toward the latter’s approach, in which “the debris that [Schwitters] has assembled fills the frame — there is no additional space, no container.”
For Keith, collage is “a way to explore, not necessarily the thing that I am tearing up, but the thing that I am contriving to build out of torn pieces.”
The exhibition will also be on view throughout the Just Off Site literary festival, March 27-30; for full schedule and details, see the festival web page .
