Scope and Contents
The exhibition, which also travelled to the ICA at the University of Pennsylvania, consisted of early drawings by Smith in which she "struggles to transform the written language itself, creating unforeseen permutations -an alchemy of word and gesture." The second part of the catalogue contains drawings related to September 11, the Tower of Babel and the works of Rimbaud, William Blake and Antonin Artaud. There are several shaped, calligraphic poems in the catalogue. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
