As
an observer of contemporary painting, it has been fascinating for James
Kalm to monitor the current evolution and popularity of the use of text
as a graphic device. Paul D'Agostino puts his scholarly studies in
Latin and Italian to use in structuring an investigation into the design
and use of a "Chromatic Alphabet", a code of basic geometric forms and
colors that stand in for letters. Using the vowels as backbone, the
artist composes words that, to the uninitiated, read as formalist
abstractions, but to the "literate" subtle puns and word games become
apparent. A musical introduction is provided by Yacouba Diabaté. This
program was recorded February 21, 2016 in Bushwick Brooklyn.
