Encounters with Pablo Neruda: New Exhibit at bau Beacon
Consisting of experimental and investigative prints influenced by the writings of Pablo Neruda, this exhibition is a mixture of highly personal visions and the unpredictable results of a shared exploration of text and imagery. The work is created through a variety of techniques and media. It considers the impact of language, idiom and translation on form and is accompanied by a live performance directed by Michael Wiggins and featuring music by Marni Rice with interactive and recorded elements.
