Proposed as a collection of imaginary logos for the |
|
corporate sponsors of Borges s Library of Babel, Kern |
|
balances on a precipice between the visual and |
|
nonsensical, offering poems just out of meaning s reach. |
|
Using dry-transfer lettering, Derek Beaulieu made these |
|
concrete pieces by hand, building the images gesturally |
|
in response to shapes and patterns in the letters |
|
themselves. This is poetry closer to architecture and |
|
design than confession, in which letters are released |
|
from their usual semantic duties as they slide into |
|
unexpected affinities and new patterns. Kern highlights |
|
the gaps inside what we see and what we know, filling the |
|
familiar with the singular and the just seen with the |
|
faintly remembered. |
