MONICA ONG: CELESTIAL BODIES

(ce•les•tial)

1: of or relating to the sky or visible heavens
2: (capitalized) of or relating to China or the Chinese
3: eminently pleasing

Monica Ong is a visual poet whose new series of hybrid image-poems experiment with diagram and diary at the intersection of language, art, and science. Her recent body of work draws from astronomical diagrams and maps, weaving in echoes of her own migratory lineage to explore precarious territories of motherhood, gender, and identity.

SALLY ALATALO: CULTIVATING BOOK AND LAND

Sally Alatalo’s practice coalesces around a habit of parsing the quotidian for all it’s worth, and percolates in the hybrid realms of language collage, visual poetry, artists’ books, unruly archives and performative events. Her current projects originate in the rehabilitation of an orchard and woodlands in rural SW Michigan as a site to investigate agri/horti/cultur/al practices, and where she is eager to bridge her interests in language and its dissemination with the discourses of rural economies.
