Poetry Beyond Text Exhibition
A new exhibition marking the conclusion of a research project linking poetry, psychology and fine art will be on show in the Visual Research Centre at DCA until 1st April (open 12 - 4.30pm, Saturday - Wednesday).
The “Poetry Beyond Text: Vision, Text and Cognition” project, led by Professor Andrew Michael Roberts of the English programme and funded by the Arts & Humanities Research Council, has been running since 2009.
It has resulted in a variety of visual-poetic art works, including concrete poetry, sculptural poetic artefacts, artists’ books, poetic prints, poem-photography, text film and digital poetry which are now included in the exhibition at DCA.
The exhibition, which features newly commissioned work by well-known poets and artists, including John Burnside, Will Maclean, Robin Robertson, Deryn Rees-Jones, Sarah Turner, David Bellingham, Jim Carruth and Marion Leven and interactive digital works by Simon Biggs and John Cayley, will run until 1st April.
The 'Poetry Beyond Text' project forms part of the wider AHRC programme, 'Beyond Text: Performances, Sounds, Images, Objects' (2007-12), which involves over 40 individual projects and aims to ‘create a collaborative, multi-disciplinary research community'.
The exhibition will move to Edinburgh later in the year, being hosted by The Scottish Poetry Library in Summer and the Royal Scottish Academy in Winter.
