words, words, words II

León Ferrari

Mira Schendel

I don't know if you've noticed, but recently, I've had this sort of obsession with text in art. Words, though just typically thought of as just... well... words, are just as powerful and effective on their own visually. I know I'm probably the worst language learner in the world, but I always love looking at words and characters and alphabets. Lame, I know.

But anyways, I took these images from a new show from the Moma (which is, btw, the best museum on this planet. The Met can shove it) which features both Mira Schendel and León Ferrari. It looks pretty killer if you ask me.
