THE POEM PHOTOGRAMS : ARTISTS SUPPORT PLEDGE
The White Light Poem photograms are presented in dark oak frames with museum glass fabricated by Dylan Shipton Framers these original signed photograms are from the award-winning experimental film White Light. The commissioned film based on a poem by Vera Graziadei follows an anonymous supernatural character on a journey through a disused greenhouse containing a jungle of letters and objects to examine extreme states of poetic existence and questions our ephemeral connection to infomation, especially the printed word. The photograms perform an essential part of the story revealing its relationship to exposure, immersion, and literature.
This series has been specially made by Richard Nik Evans to support the #artistssupportpledge scheme.
“The Artists Support Pledge Scheme is a culture and economy in support of artists and makers established and led by artist Matthew Burrows on 16th March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Every time an artist reaches £1,000 of sales, they pledge to buy £200 of work from another artist.
ASP works by example, showing how a generous culture behaves and exploring the values that maintain its ethos. At the core of this is a commitment to equality of opportunity FOR ALL and an accessible platform to participate.
ASP believes that an equitable and sustainable future economically and environmentally must begin by examining the cultural values we live by; that artists are central to this debate; and that ALL artists are important in maintaining the permaculture that is our global artistic ecosystem. If one part suffers we all do.”
