PAINTED IDEAS

Cecilia Vicuña presents visual poetry and poetry in a space from Latin America, at Cecilia de Torres Gallery in New York. Interweaving the story of Cecilia de Torres and the people present at the event, she creates a khipu of knotted writing in space. The exhibition takes its name after the work of Simón Rodríguez the poet philosopher of the 19th century. It included works by: Joaquín Torres García, Vicente Huidobro, Xul Solar, Eielson, Amereida, Guaman Poma, Maya logogliphs, and khipus. The show celebrated the publication of The Oxford Book of Latin American Poetry (edited by Cecilia Vicuña and Ernesto Livon-Grosman).
