What happens when a visual artist and a poet encounter each other? Sparks. Convergence. Magic. Tightly woven
words and images. Mirrors. Ricochets.
Come see for yourself TONIGHT (May 5th) at the opening of Encounters: How the Light Gets In, an
exhibit in the South Gallery at Artworks in Loveland.
The thread running through the show is a line from the late
Leonard Cohen song “Anthem”: There is a
crack in everything; that’s how the light gets in. (Cohen likely was
inspired by the Rumi line The wound is the
place where the Light enters you.)
The artist/poet pairs were given the Cohen line as a starting place
and took it from there—in many different--and wonderful--directions, as you
will see.
In addition to tonight’s opening, you have two other opportunities
to see the show: next Friday, May 12
during night on the town (6-9 p.m.) and on May 18 at a reading of the poems
from 7 to 9 p.m. (You can also access
the Gallery weekdays from 1-4). The show
runs through May 26.
The doors open tonight at 6 and brief comments by a few of the
artists and poets will commence at 6:30. Artworks is at 310 N. Railroad Avenue.
