Closing Reception: Victoria Burge, Allyson Strafella, Audra Wolowiec : Artists respond to the work of John Ashbery

The Flow Chart Foundation’s newly accessible Flow Chart Space (348 Warren Street, Hudson, NY 12534) will be featuring the work of artists Victoria Burge, Allyson Strafella, and Audra Wolowiec, as they share an inherent relationship to language with their newest collaborative installation in response to the written work of John Ashbery.

Through the lens of their own visual language, a drawn conversation between Ashbery’s work and their own emerged. The undulating cover image of Ashbury’s Rivers and Mountains (designed by Michael Peters, 1966) acts as a guide locating line, wave, and landscape to interact with their pieces. The exhibition will be open to the public on weekends (or by appointment).

There will be a closing reception with performances and readings on June 1st from 3–5pm.
Please reach out to Allyson at 646-675-2259 for more info. RSVP links can be found here: https://www.flowchartfoundation.org/exhibitions
