Minnesota Center for Book Arts Main Gallery
1011 S Washington Avenue, Minneapolis
Opening reception Friday, March 10, 6-9 pm
Asemic writing is a wordless semantic form that often has the appearance of abstract calligraphy; it allows writers to present visual narratives that move beyond language and rely on the viewer for context and meaning.
Asemic Writing: Offline & In the Gallery, curated by Michael Jacobson, is the first large-scale exhibition of asemic art in the United States, featuring the work of over 50 international artists who together create an eclectic assemblage of inventing, designing, and dreaming.

On March 25 at 7 pm the reading Asemic Translations will feature various poets and scholars “translating” asemic texts into performative works. Presenters include John M. Bennett, C. Mehrl Bennett, exhibition curator Michael Jacobson, and others to be announced, with a musical performance by Ghostband.
This event is free and open to the public, and is presented by Rain Taxi and the Minnesota Center for Book Arts. We hope to see you there!
