Vispo print: 99 / art show No-Go electronic Info age gallery

vispo, print, colour Pop Art, concrete poetry


RTomens, 2017
Here in the electric information age we view art as thumbnails, smartphone-sized gallery visits or full screen desktop framing or Tumblr whatever or Facebook scroll post content or whatever and as with PDFs some people actually want real books, as in pages they can flick, spines they can bend (or try not to) so many would rather see art in the flesh - we all would - but in this gallery without walls that is not an option even if a show should be offered me I would not be able to afford to get all those prints made (boo-hoo) as I told an Established Artist the other day in an email without response because why should he care about my problems, the problems of showing in London and the problem of even wanting to show in London, where you might hang some pictures that would not get bought before taking them down again (too negative!) and wondering what the hell all that was about but at least you can then say on your Artist CV that you showed at blah, blah - a proper exhibition, which nobody will realise that very few people attended, so that's all right...
