Poets on Painters
Queens Library Gallery
February 4 - March 30, 2008
The collaborative exhibition Poets on Painters dynamically juxtaposes the act of painting with the act of writing. Co-curators Katie Geha, formerly the curator of modern and contemporary art at the Ulrich Museum of Art and Travis Nichols, a Seattle-based poet, have paired 20 contemporary poets with 20 contemporary painters. A timely survey of contemporary painting and poetry, the exhibition instigates a collaboration between established and emerging artists.
Poets and Painters in the Exhibition:
Eric Baus on Mequitta Ahuja / Laura Solomon on Abel Auer / Paul Killebrew on Jules de Balincourt / Hoa Nguyen on Nina Bovasso / Sawako Nakayasu on Echo Eggebrecht / Aimee Kelley on James Benjamin Franklin / Noah Eli Gordon on Joanne Greenbaum / Nick Moudry on Mark Grotjahn / Kary Wayson on Angelina Gualdoni / Kristin Prevallet on Laura Owens / John Olson on Christopher Patch / Sueyuen Juliette Lee on Lamar Peterson / Joshua Marie Wilkinson on Sam Prekop / Jeff Clark on Monique Prieto / Sara Veglahn on Christoph Ruckhäberle / Corinna Copp on Anna Schachte / Dorothea Laskey on Dana Schutz / Juliana Leslie on Sandra Scolnik / Monica Fambrough on Amy Sillman / Brad Flis on Whiting Tennis
