Bringing the poetry of Diane Vreuls to life.

This is an exhibition of performative and interactive works that are a posthumous collaboration with poet Diane Vreuls. The wordplay and art she brought to raising her children morphed into a stronger calling, first as a painter and visual artist, and then as a writer. Her first publication, Instructions, in 1971, was followed by a novel, Are We There Yet, published in 1975, and other books of short stories and poems. This exhibition is an installation of works in both analog and digital form that brings her wordplay poetry from her 1971 book Instructions to life.

 This work was produced in a studio which follows the tradition of a factory model that originates with artists such as Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons, and William Kentridge. The work uses a variety of ludic and paidic play including, partial narrative imaginative play, object play, movement play, attunement play, and social play.
