FRANCESCO CLEMENTE PALIMPSEST

The catalogue brings to light the close resemblance of Clementes aesthetic to the manner in which references are actualized in a pa limpsest: effacement, partial erasure, and superimposition of writing surfaces. In so doing it reveals a concern at the centre of hi s oeuvre: Clementes conviction in his role as an artist as a kind of universal witness of consciousness.Includes poems by poems by Gregory Corso, Robert Creeley, Allen Ginsberg, and Peter Handke. Also featured is an interview between Francesco Clemente and Pamela Kort.
