A haptic/text blog review of Kit Robinson, Lewis Warsh, and Bill
Berkson reading for the San Francisco State Poetry Center this past
Saturday night.
Haptics: The First 100 Days of President Obama
(haptics & commentary - sometimes minimal and sometimes expansive)
continues. It is now Day 76.
Note:Gallery Show: On April 29th, the 100th Day of Obama, the Steven Wolfe
Gallery (49 Geary Street, San Francisco), will exhibit all 100 drawings
in a 588 square foot grid upon one of the Gallery walls. A book - which
will be published by the Gallery on that day - will include 99 of the
drawings and edited texts from this blog. On that day, I will sit in
the Gallery and make the haptics and texts for the final two empty
pages for an edition limited to 35 copies. Subsequently a non-limited
edition will be produced with the final haptic and text,
If you are interested in either edition, or more information about the show, please email me:
& yes, please feel free to explore the entire blog for prior and ongoing Obama entries that precede this one!
For those unfamiliar with this project, during these first 100 days of the Obama regime, I have been making a haptic
drawing with reflective commentary - sometimes directly political,
sometimes not - on public and personal events of this unique period.
What is a haptic? I like to think of the drawings as a kind of script, a poetry without words.
On a most simple level, the drawings are a combination of the eye and
ear in sensual response to whatever may be in the immediate landscape -
the news, a basketball game, a poetry reading or musical performance, the sounds coming in over the back porch,
etc.
