(What Words Mean): A Text-Based Art Workshop with Alyson Provax

(What Words Mean): A Text-Based Art Workshop is an exercise in using what you have to change the meaning of text with available tools and materials, lead by currently exhibiting Archer Gallery artist Alyson Provax. Bring your computer (or typewriter, pen and paper, or other favorite tools) to learn from Alyson through making a piece of text-based art that emphasizes, undermines, complicates, or redirects the focus of a phrase. She will show examples of text-based art and concrete poetry, then lead you in thinking about the ways that changing the physical appearance of the text can change its meaning, deepening your relationship to the phrase and connecting us to the inherent instability of language. The ways of thinking discussed in this workshop are designed to be useful for artists and designers and expand the enjoyment of text for everyone. More details at www.archergallery.space.
