Descripción de la Exposición

Installation by Raúl Cordero and Barry Schwabsky, commissioned by Times Square Arts Times Square Arts, the largest public platform for contemporary performance and visual arts, is pleased to present THE POEM, an interactive public art installation by Cuban artist Raúl Cordero, on view March 30-April 28, 2022. THE POEM intends to provide a unique and transformative experience in which visitors can momentarily transcend the bustling activity of Times Square and the district’s monumental scale and energy. In the heart of an attention economy, Cordero plays with the architecture of Times Square to offer us a gift of poetry and art. THE POEM is a large-scale sculptural tower featuring illuminated text within a landscaped oasis. Affixed to the interior of the temple-like structure are words from a haiku written by poet Barry Schwabsky, visible to visitors who step inside and look up. Schwabsky is a writer, educator, and art world luminary whose poetry concerns the minute nuances of sense and sensation in the overlooked elements of language, balancing thoughtful details with the complexities of art. THE POEM is a continuation of Cordero’s extensive use of juxtaposing text and image in his oeuvre, serving as a commentary on the distracted nature of modern living in which technological advancements have created a wealth of information alongside a decline in attention. The artist created a special alphabet composed of almost illegible symbols to toy with the human brain and force viewers to linger longer to decipher his message—emblematic of Cordero’s belief that the digital age has re-wired the human brain, compelling audiences to focus more intently when the mind multitasks. With his trickery at play, he offers a temporary hiatus from the fast-paced nature of contemporary society. (text by Times Square Arts, NY)
