Recently, galleries such as BHQFU in New York, David Roberts Foundation in London and SALTS in Basel have been throwing poetry events,\u00a0 and art platforms such as Rhizome and 11:11 have been hosting online projects dedicated to verse. Part of the reason for this increase of interest in poesie is due to the revival of performance art as well as the influence of the internet.\u00a0 The web is not only making it easier for poets to distribute their work, but also changing they way we use words and altering poetry\u2019s material \u2013 our language. David Raymond Conroy is one of the five poets the art world is listening to.<\/strong> \n<strong>Entnommen aus <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.sleek-mag.com\/products-page\/issues\/47-word-up\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sleek 47<\/a><\/strong> \nPoetry doesn\u2019t always appear in contemporary art in obvious ways. Although often presented as prose, British poet David Raymond Conroy\u2019s verse began life as spoken word presentations. \u201cI wanted to speak around my work without talking directly about it,\u201d he says.<br \/>\nHaving studied fine art and print making, Conroy is another example of an artist turning to verse and incorporating it into his practice. \u201cBroadway flats (social actors)\u201d, exhibited as part of a group show at Shoreditch\u2019s Seventeen gallery earlier this year, featured sculptures made from wooden frames, metallic surfaces and large print outs of his poems. And although these mixed media objects are an important part of what Conroy does as an artist, it is also possible to engage with his work on the level of literary aesthetics too.<br \/>\nFrequently referencing stand-up comedy, Conroy\u2019s writing is similar to the emotional and sometimes detached tone of David Foster Wallace and other writers from the loose-knit New Sincerity and alt-lit movements, who broadly rejected postmodernism\u2019s infatuation with irony in favour of a return to traditional concepts such as truth and authenticity.<br \/>\n\u201cI want to make things that feel true. I like sad things and hateful things and angry things, as they just stick with me more than happy things,\u201d says Conroy. \u201cI mean, what do you want to read about \u2013 beautiful people having a lovely time? I can&#8217;t think of anything worse.\u201d<br \/>\nAnother aspect to Conroy\u2019s work is an interest in our relationship with technology. \u201cWriting seems to have become the primary interface between people,\u201d he notes. Indeed, his use of playful rhythm and cadence, song references and non-standard grammar also imply the kinds of informal dialogues that people conduct on the internet and elsewhere.<br \/>\n\u201cNowadays we seem unconcerned by the rules of language,\u201d he says. \u201cImproper punctuation, misspelling and the addition of various quirks have become very normal when it comes to online exchanges, and it has been interesting to see how these things have started to emerge in traditional \u2018analogue\u2019 writing. Nonetheless, the writing in which I am immersed in online is super condensed, so as to be as snappy and attractive and \u2018click-bait-y\u2019 as possible.\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>Text: Francesca Gavin<\/strong> \n<strong>Mehr: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/category\/print-features\/\" target=\"_blank\">Print Features<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Raymond Conroy, Because Fuck You, 2015 Wide Format Print 85 x 120cm In the wake of rampant, market-led nonsense, art is rekindling its fascination with poetry.
