Yucef Merhi: Poetic Engineering
Orange Lounge

may 14 – aug 28, 2005

Poetry and electronic media merge in the Orange Lounge with Poetic Engineering, a solo exhibition of works by new media artist Yucef Merhi. Born in Venezuela, in 1977 and now based in New York, Merhi was trained in Caracas as both an artist and a poet. In his works, telephone lines, clocks, computer screens, and video game systems are transformed into artworks that incorporate the artist’s written words.

And for those of you with nothing to do tonight. Come on down to The Galaxy Theatre and check out the musical genius of this guy. I’ll be there, so say hello.
