nico vassilakis: “letters of intent” (visual essays)

LETTERS of INTENT
by Nico Vassilakis
A book of visual poetry
120 pages in full color
Available here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/8182538548

LETTERS of INTENT

is a collection of visual essays designed to explore the interior space of language material;
unfolds in chapters that investigate the methods, processes, manifestos and potentials of visual poetry;
attempts to blend the verbo-visual concept of reading seeing with the position that letters and their visual properties keep the germ of language afloat and operating while word formations are merely a convenience we’ve become accustomed to.

Visual Poetry on the Page: With, Within, and Without the Word explores a movement that asks viewers to read the works as visual art. Unlike concrete, written poems, a visual poem “typically includes many other elements than alphabetic text,” including any number of mediums or artist manipulation, including painting, photos, digital manipulation or any other means to “obliterate the boundary between visual arts and literature.” “Visual poetry is what we can see,” organizer Crag Hill said in his curator statement. “It can be what we see when we see within, behind, and beyond words, when we see through parts of words, through and with letters, parts of letters, the ineffable marks we make on and in spaces we inhabit and aspire to live with and for.” Continua a leggere →
