Five decades of Yau’s diverse poetic collaborations with artists from Pat Steir to Richard Tuttle

The poetry of Chinese American poet John Yau (born 1950) is infused with humor and intelligence. Yau uses a variety of poetic forms to examine aspects of visual art, film and popular culture. His critical writing is celebrated for providing fresh insights about already codified artists and for situating diverse practitioners into historical contexts. Disguise the Limit features numerous works that Yau has created with visual artists during the past five decades. These include paintings, mixed-media drawings, print portfolios, artist’s books and letterpress broadsides. The result of friendships and shared sensibilities, these works reveal the poet’s embrace of both representation and abstraction as foils for language generation. Offering nimble turns of phrase, Zen koans, road sign warnings and fragmented poems, Yau is in his element when operating in the performative time and space that collaboration requires.

Artists include: Jake Berthot, Tom Burckhardt, Norman Bluhm, Pia Fries, Max Gimblett, Judy Ledgerwood, Suzanne McClelland, Malcolm Morley, Ed Paschke, Peter Saul, Pat Steir, Robert Therrien, Richard Tuttle, Chuck Webster.
