This Week in Culture: May 8 - 14, 2023
Hauser & Wirth Monaco’s new exhibition on John Chamberlain, “The Poetics of Scale,” will be the first to publicly feature poetry written by Chamberlain, who was known for his industrial-aesthetic sculpture. It puts his 1950s poetry in conversation with his 1980s sculpture series "Gondolas" and "Tonks,” which were composed of boat parts. These poems, written by Chamberlain during his time at Black Mountain College, will invite audiences to consider his artistic style in a new way, highlighting the connections between his work in the visual arts and elsewhere in his life. “The Poetics of Scale” will be on view from May 10 through September 2, 2023 at Hauser & Wirth in Monaco.
