Poetry. Art. Anne Tardos's UXUDO combines extreme sophistication with great warmth. By using the ligusitic, the filmic, the nonlinear, her surface becomes dimensional, what I want to call an acute net, in the sense of crossings. Time and mourning support from the outside. This is exciting and tremendously moving -- Me-mei Berssenbrugge. UXUDO, a gift from technology, illuminsted manuscript. Illuminated not as in illustrated, but luminous (ital), interactive in a sense that Blake would have understood. Or Zukovsky : that language is eyes. Ears, echoes. That, in fact, language itself, in our time certainly, must always be plural: a system of difference, midrashim to an Ur-text that never existed but perpetually surrounds us. Place exists, but entirely as displacement. These marvelous works reveal our time with remarkable precision, generosity and wit. Anne Tardo see (ital), hears, writes, acts (itla), with a clarity that is breathtaking Ron Silliman.
