»THE WORD IS ART« by michael petry

if you are interested in text-based art, i would totally recommend you to get this beautiful and informative book which came out recently from thames and hudson.

a global overview of how contemporary artists incorporate text and the written word into work that speaks to someof the most pressing issues of the 21st century.

Petry’s book paints a redeeming picture of language, underlining how artists continue to inspire us with their radical and creative use of words.

i’m very glad that my own work is featured in this amazing book as well!
