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 1
    Red voodoo moon
    reflecting dawn and dusk
    thus evolves the masquerade
    of sacrifice to maintain control
    spiritual cleansing
    flickering will into thought
    into action
    reaction
    the power of elements entwined
    and focused into fruition.
    voices heard of ancestors dancing, laughing, singing
    be praised these movements, for obedience is rewarded with good fortune

    Response 2
    Father, forgive me, for I have evolved.
    Not trembling; dancing
    not screaming; singing
    not falling; ascending.
    Becoming one with thought
    action
    disillusion
    revolving reaction
    dismissed
    buried, trodden down.
    Tombstones now gather not dust
    nor time
    nor cracks of reality
    seeping,
    smothered out like rational thought upon dreaming.

    It sizzles with delight
    Skin, patterned yet smooth, becomes leathery and wrinkled
    The juice oozes, promising soft sweet centre
    Little back pips hiss as the flames touch them.
    Flesh melts into a sticky mess
    Roasting Watermelons over an open fire

    body numb
    eyes shut
    my soul lingers through the spirit world in search of answers
    Questions unknown
    a man walks the path along side me with guidance
    where I go, I dont know
    but my travells give strength and fruitful wisdom
    my body takes movement
    time to wake and face the harsh reality of life
    My dreams are truth and truth my nightmare
