AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

iotaSalon: January 7th, 2010

Start out the new year by coming out to the iotaSalon on January 7th. The theme for this screening is Text and Speech. We will be examining works that explore the confluence of abstraction and language. What choices do artists make when using text in abstraction? How do speech and poetry compliment or complicate visuals?

We are still accepting submissions for the Salon, so if you have any work you would like to screen and discuss, please submit it to us.
