Write Now: Artists and Letterforms

September 30, 2011 – April 29, 2012

For as long as there have been alphabets artists have explored the letterform, employing the fundamental element of written communication in many ways other than the setting of text.

This exhibition presents recent works using letters and text in painting, printmaking, sculpture and video.

Included in this exhibition is a Fluxus project with international submissions of mail art and concrete poetry.

The exhibition features more than 40 artists –predominantly, but not exclusively, Chicago-based–including Jo Hormuth, Rick Valicenti, Ken Fandell, Jason Lazarus, Mario Gonzalez, Jr., Michael Thompson, Buzz Spector, Jason Pickleman, Joel Ross, Mike Genovese, Beatriz Ledesma and more.
