In Defense of Poetry--Multimedia Exhibition

Our guests explain why they think that it is significant that emerging talent remain unnoticed in our current visual art landscape. They tell about their upcoming exhibition, titled ‘In Defense of Poetry’, in which the collective asserts it brings a “renewed form of artistic action.” A peek into the opening gambit which will be held on “a rooftop of a furniture warehouse that will soon be torn down.” The exhibition incorporates visual arts, performance art, the spoken word and music.
