Seismosis

2006
Modernism (Art)Modernism (Literature)Abstract Drawing

"Featuring line-drawings by Stackhouse & poems-as-essays by Keene--handed back and forth and back again, written and rewritten, drawn and redrawn--Seismosis penetrates the common ground between writing/literature and drawing/visual art, creating a revisioned landscape where much of the work is abstract, or abstracted, or both. The multiform agreements the texts & the drawings make, from a brilliant & decisive center, are revolutionary, antilinear, and highly responsive. The result is a sophisticated call-and-response affair. A pioneering event between two African-American artists, Seismosis is a formal experience. How drawing ultimately is coming into forms, how looking (for) recreates deforms."--Publisher's website.
