The Text Festival occupies
the boundaries between art and poetry,
examining the response of text artists and poets
to the substantial ambiguity of language.
A 12 week programme of events held in Bury,
Lancashire, featuring exhibitions,
public art commissions, publications and performances
by internationally recognised practitioners and
some of the newest talents in the field.
This is the major British festival based on the idea that art can be read as poetry and poetry can be viewed as art. |
