The exhibition read the room / you’ve got to explores the current blurring of borders between poetic and visual arts practices, as well as analogue and digital processes, while taking up the history of mail art in the internet age. The show is comprised of works on A4 paper—many of them made specifically for this exhibition—that the participating poets and artists chose to mail or email to the curator. In the case of the latter, the works were then printed out using a standard inkjet printer. From poems crafted from email spam to poems made from film-still subtitles to poems emerging from more traditional painting and drawing and typographic practices, the works on view describe the discursive range of contemporary poetics and the visual art oeuvres under that indelible influence.

Sharon came every morning to sift the mud/build the Buddha . . . the mud female Buddha herself erased one day abruptly. The space was thought of as a “balcony” (after Genet’s Le Balcon). The space of a life, a site of incarnation. Incarnate, fleeting.
