POSING THE LITERARY AS VISUAL  essay about Jan Hatt-Olsen’s art at Dada Post by Howard McCalebb

SUBMISSION TO DAM ARCHITECTURAL BOOK AWARD 2011

 

LiteraturHaus, Copenhagen and Dada Post, Berlin invited poet/artist Jan Hatt-Olsen, known for his work with augmented poetry, a poetized world, where all are poets and poems and where works of poetry both augment and explore the world. Several of his works has been published both nationally and internationally as research through art and artistic practices.

 

In Dada Post he was artist in residence form August 1 – September 10.  Based on his meeting with the white cube and the City of Berlin he explored the gallery exhibition as a bookscape - a Poetry Book - expressing Jan Hatt-Olsen’s meeting with Berlin its life, its vibe and its neighborhoods

 

In the spirit of the Optipist Manifesto Exhibition as a whole, everything has a double side, fragmented, coherent, reflecting, something you can pass through. But it’s not perception and reality falling apart or being in an eternal confrontation. It’s Perception and reality always in the making in flux. Always in the process of being written and read, being a collection of poetry

 

To join this augmenting of realities, play with realities, to create the new perception the poetized reality, has Jan Hatt-Olsen, LiteraturHaus Copenhagen and Dada Post, Berlin invited the Berlin based American visual artist / writer / photographer Kathryn Nussdorf
