The Word. The Word. THE WORD. Contrary to what Marshall McLuhan has been saying, the word is alive and well and flourishing as a unique new form of visual expression. This book is an exhibition of that expression, showing how artists and poets are using language - words and numbers - as a visual, structural element in their work. The result is a crossing of the boundaries of poetry, painting, photography and sculpture.
