Two works by Sophia Le Fraga
Büro BDP
July 7, 2011, From 18.00 to 21.00 pm
As a part of our exhibition series Exhibiting Literature, Büro BDP is proud to present American writer Sophia Le Fraga. Le Fraga’s conceptual writings often evolve around playful appropriations, erasures or cut-ups of already existing texts. Her poems investigate the various possibilities of inserting competing systems of signification within already given semantic structures, and in so doing they challenge, question and expand our general use of language.
For her exhibition at Büro BDP, Le Fraga will show two poem-installations, which both deploy visual-aesthetic elements as crucial factors in the poems’ formation of meaning. In these works colour, image and space become as significant as the words themselves, opening up the possibility of remolding text into image, and poem into painting.
