Namings and Origins / Tilson, Joe., 1984

 Item
Identifier: CC-40796-42772
Scope and Contents

Lynn Silverman, the exhibition assistant, writes, "Although Joe Tilson does not write poetry, the power of the word is evident in his art. His conversation is sprinkled with references to certain poets, especially Yeats and Pound. The ubiquitous relationship between words and images, and their role in structuring our experience of the world, is a thread that runs throughout Tilson's art." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Pop to Present / Tilson, Joe., 2002

 Item
Identifier: CC-38862-40788
Scope and Contents

As noted in his biography, Tilson was "originally associated with the British Pop Art movement in the early 1960's. He was soon led in a different direction by his deeply held convictions and his dissatisfaction with the technology and industrial 'progress' of the consumer society. Art, Tilson has written, is a symbolic discourse of which mankind alone is capable." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
