“WORDplay: art inspired by text”
\nat gallery blink in Lexington, Massachusetts, USA
\n29 September-22 October 2017<\/h2>\n

Opening reception: Friday, 6 October, 5-8PM<\/p>\n

“WORDplay”, showing over 200 works by over 30 artists, features art inspired by text. Some pieces incorporate text as part of the image, while others take their inspiration from a book, poem, play, newspaper, or magazine article. The show is not pun-free.<\/p>\n

Art “speaks” whether or not text is included, but the inspiration of the written language combined with the visual language of an artist makes for a compelling body of work. Each piece of art has its own story to tell and makes a good read.<\/p>\n

Curated by Gillian and John Ross.<\/p>\n
