Poemabout
Annelise Coste, Galerie Reinhard Hauff, Kunsthaus Glarus (Organizer)
Tiré du site Internet des éditions Patrick Frey: "For French artist Annelies Coste a blank sheet of paper is the place to determine her feelings and ideas about herself and the world. Until recently, she created countless drawings on a daily basis, spontaneous notes on world history and private mythologies, political statements and visual puns. A selection of these drawings was published in NON (Edition Patrick Frey, 2003). Two years ago, she began to experiment with spray paint and an airbrush. Text and writing became increasingly important, both as a visual code and as carriers of meaning. Light-handedly and with playful ease, she began to address existential questions and to challenge power and authority. She created text-images using quotes, key words, and poetic inventions of her own. Sometimes these fragments are standing by themselves on a blank sheet, and sometimes they cover the entire sheet as wildly ornamental accusations and demands. Poemabout presents a selection of her most recent work as well as a poster and small volume of her poems."
