Yesterday I visited the Vancouver Art Gallery and saw an exhibit by Geoffrey Farmer titled, "How Do I Fit This Ghost in my Mouth?". In it, he tells the story of walking to work one day and seeing a woman walking across the street with a bag of groceries get hit by a semi-truck. He was the first to her side. She was flattened and there was lettuce and carrots on the ground. He continued on his way to work and didn't tell anyone about it. It wasn't until many years later that he awoke from a dream and recalled it all. The exhibit was haunting. sounds_sound -you may have seen this work? -Anyways, your experience reminded me of his artwork. yellowoftops, can you be more specific in what you are looking for? Thanks!This is part of a larger series of 25 poems about the war that I've written for an art exhibition I'm working on. Each poem is preceded by an artistic interpretation of the poem created by a non-veteran, and each poem is followed by an interpretation created by a veteran. I'm still looking for submissions at this point, so feel free to PM if you know anyone who might like to participate.
-Sounds very interesting. We have a strong contingent of poets and writers on Hubski. lil, _refugee_, humanodon, cW, ....and others I'm forgetting, check this out.
For the most part it's easiest to display oils, pastels, and other canvas based pieces. This will later become part of a book as the project gets completed, so we're keeping that in mind as we select pieces. For the early exhibition sets (non-vet art, poem, vet-art is a set for us) we are looking for any media, but it's going to be nearly impossible to fit an audio/visual presentation into a book later for example, and so that might play into what is selected. For example, the non-vet poem for this one is here on the artist's page.
