Sparks fly when different disciplines collide. Visual artists respond to poets and spoken word artists create works based on paintings. Join us as we discuss the intersection of visual art and poetry. Poets will join us with their works and how they find inspiration in visual art. Ekphrasis: Using Art to Inspire Poetry is a tradition that goes far back in time....The earliest and best known example of ekphrasis is the long description of the shield made by Hephaistos and given to Achilles by his mother Thetis. (The passage is found in Book 18 of the Iliad.) Our artist/poets witll share their work here tonight. Woo Hoo!

Annette Coleman & Marj Hanhe host: Ekphrasis, poetry & visual intersection With Boulder Arts Week aproaching and the NoBo Art District hosting spoken word artists on First Friday this radio show will explore the connections that poetry and visual art share. Ekphrasis, a descriptive work of prose or poetry, a film, or even a photograph may thus highlight through its rhetorical vividness what is happening, or what is shown in, say, any of the visual arts, and in doing so, may enhance the original art and so take on a life of its own through its brilliant description.

“Making abstract art is like standing naked without the support of imagery to hide behind”. –Suzanne Frazier, contemplative artist. Abstraction in art indicates a departure from reality. The departure from accurate representation can be slight, partial, or complete. Abstraction exists along a continuum from early in the 20th century. How do you view abstraction? Is it really easy? We’ve all heard, “my five year old could do that.” Do we read forms in the work even if there is no intent by the artist? Who is your favorite abstract artist? How do you view abstraction? Is it as easy to do as it looks? We’ve all heard “my five year old could do that.” Do we read forms in the work even if there is no intent by the artist? American Abstract Artists was founded in 1936 in New York City, at a time when abstract art was met with strong critical resistance. Have we moved on from abstraction to other art forms more relevant to today?
