See some great visual poetry--including mine--this month at Addison Center for the Arts!


I'd like to announce a great exhibition of visual poetry opening on Monday, April 9 at the Addison Center for the Arts.  The show includes amazing work by many visual poets from the Chicago region and beyond, and is curated by Francesco Levato.  I provided ten pieces from my series "Natural History," though I don't know if all will be in the show. All the info is here, along with a nice image of one of my pieces, as a sample of what will be shown!  The gallery's info page is nice too as a source of info about visual poetry, its types and techniques.

Walter Hamady's work at Corbett vs. Dempsey

Yesterday, R. and I went on a whim to check outArtChicago.   One thing that struck me (for various reasons) was the gallery booth forCorbett vs. Dempsey.  I have not been actively seeking galleries at this point, though I am interested in gallery representation as one part of my "balanced diet" of living as an artist. That is to say, galleries are not my only option, and I don't view them as the pinnacle of...whatever.  But I do recognize that many other people see them that way, and having gallery representation does present several practical advantages in addition to the conceptual ones.
