Welcome to Art/TEXT

a collaborative exhibition space for students at Canberra Institute of Technology.

Art/TEXT was first established in 2009 when Creative Writing teacher Lorese Vera met with Art teachers Bernie Slater, Paul Murray, Silvia Velez and others, to form a collaboration between art and writing students. Images were exchanged for text and responded to and vice-a-versa and two very well received 'on the wall' exhibitions were held at the CIT Reid Campus during 2009.

For 2010, students will visit the blog and post text or images to be responded to as a part of their assessment tasks as an 'online exhibition'.It is hoped that the blog will take on a life of its own and text and images will be exchanged beyond the assessment tasks and will generate further collaborations and exhibitions.

She melted like wax
though alabaster, cast of ivory
reduced to cream one autumn night
a bolt of silk unfurled across the floor
porcelain dripping to milk
waiting for the cat to come lap her up

    Response to Shiny Shiny by Evan Winterburn.

    The menu looks promising
    Fine dining
    in a fine restaurant
    with fine people.
    Fine, I don’t mind waiting.
    Fine surroundings
    in a fine setting
    with fine views.
    Fine, I’ll wait a little longer.
    Fine friends.
    Fine conversation.
    Fine tunes.
    Finally my food is here.
    Is there a fine for serving cold food?

    Foreign food
    Sitting in silence with no words uttered
    He glared at me with a warning.
    Where am I?
    Who are these people?
    What are they speaking?
    This is not my village.....my clothes! Where are my clothes?
    Numb with fear as my bones trembled my mouth wouldn’t open to speak
    Too scared to cry. He sat beside me. I could feel his breath on my face.
    Eat! He said to me
    Eat! We have a long journey ahead. We have to go meet important clients who will pay you money. He said
    I looked down at the food in front me. My fingers trembling I reached for a fry. Hoping this food will give me the strength to scream or run. I kept digging in as slow as I could, praying time will stand still and that someone will smell the fear I reeked off. Someone please! Anyone!

    He sits and he waits
    In a world that doesn’t care
    Money, his money
    Not a lot, but enough.

    He sits and he waits
    Food to comfort
    Comfort from food
    Served with a side of strangers
