Call and Response

Here is more work from an ongoing series between visual artist Wennie Huang and poet Ed Go.














Ed Go and Wennie Huang Word Image Collaboration. This shows Ed's textual response to Wennie's image from the previous week. The repeating texts are blue (for sky), porkchop (in red), and earth (which also reads as heart).












This work shows Wennie's response to Ed's textual work from the previous week, where I locate the letters b-l-o-o-d from (bl)ue and p(o)rkch(op) - the upside down p of porkchop reading as the letter "d". I've inscribed this response by piercing the paper as a tracing isolating these letters in the same position as they appear in Ed's textual work.












The final image shows Ed's response to the previous week's work where she shrank two 8 x 8 drawings 50% and copied them side by side as if they were pages of a book. Here, Ed has added a crossword puzzle background, implying a setting, using some words from those drawings he had previously extrapolated from the Internet, and linking them with new words.

Charles Koegel




















Charles Koegel focuses on the inspiration he gets from New York City's architectural environment in his paintings. When his paintings are installed in homes, offices or any other architectural structure it is evident that Charles uses his artwork as means to document as well as embellish the distinctiveness of each setting. Here we can see examples that reflect his artistic statement in the images of Charles' paintings installed in Northside Piers luxory condos here in Williamsburg.

Wennie Huang: Installations and Collaborations

Wennie Huang's recent installation at Gowanus Studio Space :


















Wennie has been collaborating with Brooklyn poet, Ed Go. They produce one or two new images weekly:





The medium varies week to week, but usually for the drawings by Wennie, it's graphite or red colored pencil while Ed usually uses the inkjet printer - but Wennie also uses a printer for some images as well. While Ed's part of the collaboration is typically text-based, and Wennie's tends to me more about the image, the collaborators go back and forth sometimes. The size is 8 x 8 inches on either stonehenge drawing paper, or watercolor paper, or sometimes even just printer paper.
