About the show
For Naming the Unspoken, we invited writers to create poems inspired by the artwork juried into the exhibition. The poetry, and the artwork that inspired it, were displayed together in a traditional gallery setting.
Naming the Unspoken explores the inexplicable connection between image and word, and focuses on artwork with a strong potential narrative.
Writers have created poems and written pieces inspired by the artwork included in this exhibition, which was displayed next to the visual pieces that inspired them.
The only information the writers had for inspiration was the image and title of each piece in the show.
Like artists, writers through the ages have sought to express the part of human existence that is completely non-verbal, including art. This exhibition is about the common human desire to communicate the unspoken, and to verbalize what we experience and see, even when it seems that no words can be found.
This show was created, produced & curated by Joe + Kathleen Isacson.
A full list of artists & writers can be found below. If you need help in contacting any artist to purchase work or for publication, contact us to help get connected.
