Poetics en plein air

Axle Contemporary gallery will have a live component. Just like those artists dressed in cowboy hats painting on Canyon Road, I will do my own interpretation of plein air. I will more likely wear a fedora
and instead of staring off into the vastness I will gather the vastness from my reading books of poetry, philosophy, criticism, psychology or what ever strikes me.  I will video tape as I read aloud  and visually interpret from the text. My first book will be one of my favorites "The Poetics of Space" by Gaston Bachelard .  I will begin on Sunday June 5 on the aforementioned, historic Canyon Road, close to Ernesto Mayan's Gallery.
