A Nice Day For Seeing

A Fine Day for Seeing’ takes its title from the New York School poet and  curator Frank O’Hara, who bridged literary and artistic worlds in the  late 50s. In this spirit of collaboration between word and image, the  exhibition at Southwark Park Galleries presents ten pairs of  internationally acclaimed poets and artists who have been invited to  work in dialogue with each other. Each artist is represented by a single  piece, and the accompanying poems will be available through  performances, discussions, recordings and a publication. Some of the  participating poets will also be offering writing workshops hosted by  the Poetry School. The show is curated by Tamar Yoseloff, a poet with a  strong engagement with visual art, and Paul Carey-Kent, an art writer  with a long-standing interest in poetry.
