The reviewer writes, " What the show conveys most decisively, though, is a poetic side of Mr. Camnizer's art. Various writers have compared his text-driven pieces to concrete poetry - a genre based on how words function visually, rather that verbally, and that takes the instability of language as a given. The artist himself rejects this reading, insisisting that he has no interest in poetry, even dislikes what he sees as its artificiality and penchant for ego-centered sentimentality." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

This review of Xu Bing's exhibition "Word Play" considers written language as performance. Bing's well known work "Books from the Sky" is installed at the Sackler Gallery in Washington and consists of "an architectural environment made entirely of books, wall panels and enormous paper scrolls that hang from the ceiling like a canopy. Every surface is covered with words, printed from thousands of wood block plates hand-carved by the artist. The language resembles Chinese but actually consists of nonsense characters he invented." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

This review of "Ray Johnson:Correspondences" at the Whitney Mueum of American Art describes Johnson's collages as masterworks. "The visual elements they incorporated were equally diverse: pieces of photographs, magazine clips, commercial logos, abstract shapes, cartoons and above all, words: jokes, puns, anagrams, song lyrics, poetry, nonsense syllables, exclamations, dedications and lists of names of artists and actors, social luminaries and friends. The results amount to a consummate insider, a figure who was at once everywhere and nowhere in the art world, and who used his work to spin a personal myth." The Sackner Archive contains a collage of Johnson's. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Holland Cotter writes that at this exhibition at the Dorsky Gallery, "both artists, in different ways, give language a physical presence, making its formal shape and arrangement reflect nd determine its meanings. In the process, they contribute to a new (though very old) and interestingly nondidactic merging of art, poetry, and performance in late 1990's art." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
