ARTISTS SHARE A POEM AND THE WORK IT INSPIRED IN A VIRTUAL AND INTERACTIVE ONLINE EXHIBITION
In Artists and Poems, curator Steven Wolkoff and co-curators Alexandra Wiesenfeld and Eugene Ahn invited a group of Los Angeles artists to choose a poem that has meaning for them in the period from Election Day until Inauguration Day. The artists then created artwork inspired by these poems. The pair of works – poem and visual art – will be presented together in a virtual exhibition on suturo.com.
Artists and Poems creates a platform for contemplation, responding to the turmoil of these past months through a lens of art and poetry. The juxtaposition of visual art and poetry provides insight into both the artists’ work and the poems they have chosen.
