Phyllida Barlow: Scree

Over the past year I have been wanting to review several shows at the Des Moines Art Center but because I am an employee I have found my opinions and reviews to be a conflict of interest for by blog.  I have decided to express my thoughts through poem and hope this to be a continued form of review on my blog.  Please give me some feedback - I'm new to this avenue of expression.

Phyllida Barlow: Scree

 

The Strong is Rigid

Through a Rough Solid path

An Unyielding Boulder

Colliding a climb

Twine Ledge

Covers a crowded Spine

Powerfully Minimizing

Performing on Stilts

To a kind Web

 

 

The show is happening NOW at the Des Moines Art Center and closes September 22nd. 

Admission is FREE - so no excuses!

 

 

Phyllida Barlow and Gilbert Vicario Lecture

I am a big fan of Phyllida Barlow so I wanted to share this with you all:

Her show "Scree" is opening this Thursday evening at the Des Moines Art Center.  I had the pleasure of meeting the artist last week and was completely taken back by how kind and down to earth she is.  I think this is going to be a really great lecture.  Come!
