Now running at Govett Brewster Art Gallery in New Plymouth is Len Lye ~ Body English, an exhibition looking at the close relationship between text and image in Lye's work. Curated by Tyler Cann, Body English features Lye's Surrealist photograms, poetry and films, as well as six hand-printed books for which he designed the covers, including his own No Trouble. For the first time, Lye's poetry will sit alongside some of these works, shedding new light on their curious imagery.
Len Lye ~ Body English is on show at Govett-Brewster Art Gallery until Ocober 1.
