."..in fact only Dali Polivka,
a Slovakian now residing in US, confronted the
word as art form. "Art is a monster eating
our words," says Polivka, "we fall
into misconceptions and we let the art destroy
reality, believeing that we can find a safer
place to hide ourselves." Polivka's graphite
drawings incorporate unreadable mirror image
text (possibly antique cyrilllic lettering?)
on distressed sheet of paper. While undecipherable
connotations and associations seemed to pulse
from Polivka's antiquarian, almost newspaper-like
pieces, the paintings, photographs, and pedestal
mounted sculptures of other artist in the show
seemed content to be explored on the viewver's
terms..."
