Literature Turned to a Painting. Dean Rader & Cole Swensen in conversation

In Perspective comes back with a special episode dedicated to poetry and its deep connection with Cy Twombly and his works. Through the conversation between the poets Cole Swensen and Dean Rader as well as the reading of their poetic works dedicated to the artist, we will be accompanied to an in-between space, where poetry becomes paint and paint becomes poetry, where poem and handwriting are not definitive but living things, where the artist’s paintings look landscapes established by shades of greens “deep and full of life” and the “white” of his sculptures is a constant opening, “an enactment of a borderlessness.”

The audio conversation and the transcription are also available on the Cy Twombly Foundation's official website, visiting the Episode One of In Perspective 2.
