Poet Sculpture

The Poet Sculpture is a performance-based sculpture that is enacted by poets. The installation is a moveable platform, made out of different sized crates. Each crate is designed for a departed writer. Performers interact with Julia de Burgos, Jayne Cortez, ee cummings, Allen Ginsberg, Barbara Guest, Langston Hughes, Tuli Kupferberg, Taylor Mead, Frank O’Hara, and Pedro Pietri. The formation and words of poets define the sculpture. The Poet Sculpture is in flux with poets physically interacting with the structure – creating and manipulating a visual poem/structure while performing their work.
