About
Beginning with the success of We Are Here / Here We Are , a countywide outdoor exhibition last spring, Durden and Ray continues to explore novel ways to present the work of artists during the COVID-19 pandemic. In Artists and Poems , curator Steven Wolkoff and co-curators Alexandra Wiesenfeld and Jenny Hager invited a group of 45 Los Angeles artists to choose a poem that has meaning for them given the current state of the world. The artists then created artwork inspired by these poems. The pair of works - poem and visual art - will be presentedtogether in a virtual exhibition on suturo.com .
Artists and Poems creates a platform for contemplation, responding to the turmoil of this year through a lens of art and poetry. The juxtaposition of visual art and poetry provides insight into both the artists’ work and the poems they have chosen. T he show is offered in hope that it will benefit others in this time of anxiety and unrest.
Artists and Poems is the inaugural exhibition for SUTURO.COM , a new dynamic and interactive website that reacts uniquely to each visitor as they navigate the site, allowing for exploration that fosters new formal and conceptual perspectives between the art, the poems, and the viewers.
