High Energy Constructs, Los Angeles, presents "Many Happy Returns" — a group exhibition that centers around the intersections of poetry/literature/language and the visual/media arts. The exhibition will run from October 21 – November 25, 2006, with an opening reception on Saturday, October 21, 2006, 6-9 pm, featuring a special store-front window performance by Juliacks, and music by Ben Bigelow, entitled: Maybell Explorer of the Overgrown Garden….
Evoking the field(s) of verbal and visual interplay in art since the 1960s, "Many Happy Returns" offers a vibrant look at collaborative relations, radical creations, and hermetic disciplines that have proven to reflect and affect social, political, and artistic currents via traditional and counter-traditional expressions – in continuation with the likes of William Blake, Walt Whitman, Dada, Fluxus, the Beat and New York School Generations.
Participants of this exhibition include celebrated poets and other influential figures in America's literary milieu, contemporary visual artists, filmmakers, bookmakers, printers, and other media artists. Via collage, video, painting, photography, installation, drawing, books, and other printed matter, the exhibition aims to bring together a unique array of individual and collective artworks that come out of literary communities. Named after Ted Berrigan's 1969 book-length poem, "Many Happy Returns" mixes today's bards and artists with the superceded ghosts of America's last avant-garde, in hopes of updating and highlighting the innovative collisions that take place between art and language.
Special thanks to Dodie Bellamy & Kevin Killian, Mary & Dave Kite, Anne Waldman, Gregory Lind Gallery, Matvei Yankelevich & Ugly Duckling Presse, Steve Clay & Granary Books, Micah Ballard & Lew Gallery, Blue Press Books, Lost Angel Press, and Bootstrap Productions.
