In the same way that architecture and environment exist to serve a purpose, an action or to fulfil a socially or politically charged message, each sculpture, like a lonely vessel in space, becomes its own optical scenario of sensation.

HOW DO WE RESPOND TO THE VISUAL ASPECTS OF POETRY?

This research project uses psychological, critical and creative methods to study how readers respond to the visual aspects of poetry.

It involves specialists in English and Comparative Literature, Fine Art and Psychology.

These include the shape of visual or concrete poetry (where words are arranged spatially in particular patterns on the page), the combination of poetry with images (in artists' books and prints), and the moving words and images found in digital poetry (a relatively new form of poetry which is usually web-based and often interactive).

Lead Research Organisation: University of Dundee

Mia Vallance welcomes you to her first solo show at in Paris opening this weekend December 16th.

is a contributor and friend of CHERRYBOY, with retrospectives appearing in 2019’s edition 4 and 2021’s edition 6.

« painting for a short future »
from 6pm-9pm
81 Boulevard Beaumarchais

"A heap of broken images, where the sun beats, And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief, And the dry stone no sound of water. OnlyThere is shadow under this red rock, (Come in under the shadow of this red rock), And I will show you something different from either".
T.S Elliot, Wasteland.

Mia Vallance's Painting for a Short Future presents a perturbed body of work. Frenetic brushstrokes amongst swathes of colour have come to be her signature, but what is debuting here is an overwhelming sense of decay and uncertainty. The paintings in the show echo T.S Elliot's oneiric yet corporeal poem Wasteland. Having referenced the line 'breeding lilacs out of the dead earth,' Mia's paintings suggest heavy heads on thin stems, seeping colours marred by overwhelming browns and dark places.

There's a timelessness to the phenomenon of decay, yet she also acknowledges the specificity of the disconcerting times she paints in.

The tangibility of books and the art of publishing.

‘I am in Mexico working on my publishing processes to gain a deeper understanding of the structure and tangibility of books. I am exploring how far I can stretch their two-dimensional forms to access a cross-dimensional reading experience. By practising the most traditional form of book-binding and bringing it back to its basics, I have unveiled the complexity of its hardware, thus knowing what areas to conceptually expand on.’ - Phia Bowden (Founder of CHERRYBOY)
