<p>Nice to see you, Angie. I love that Snooker zombie poster in the gallery, BTW.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When I posted an earlier blog of Matt's work, I wrote about how I'm always so impressed with Wisconsin as a global center of vispo. You know, with Meikal And, David Chirot, you (!), and many others. It was during those protests you had in Madison that were covered so much by the media. I somehow got on a rant that Matt should run for your governor. You know my twisted humor, but I'm not sure if he…</p>

Anyway, an opportunity to recognize Wisconsin for vispo & mail-art. And it works both ways. After a year, I think I'm starting to "get" what Matt's doing in his work. So, yeah, I look forward to it.

<p>the banner for Ill. Pre. is from a grocery bag work. i recently found a large, torn "from a sign" magnet in the street i plan on forwarding to John. biking is a good way to find material. & last Feb, March i literally dug Wisconsin Protest signs out of the snow to work on (after the material dried on the apartment floor). a copy of Cr ch will find you!</p>

<p>Matt, Illegitimate Prescriptions has never looked better. I really like your pieces on grocery bags. Maybe John Bennett could give you one of his shopping lists as an intro. But seriously, nice work!</p>

<p>I'm so glad you like Matt's work as much as I do.</p>

<p>Sometimes I wish a great eminence like John Bennett would step in and put all the concepts in order for us. His silence must surely be a sign of wisdom. Kat, I definitely see asemic symbols in this work. I see vispo and at least nods to concrete poetry as well. I think all of us who particpated in Asemics 16 discovered these definitions and distinctions are imprecise. I saw a reference to "word-based art" recently. I think…</p>

Kat, I definitely see asemic symbols in this work. I see vispo and at least nods to concrete poetry as well. I think all of us who particpated in Asemics 16 discovered these definitions and distinctions are imprecise. I saw a reference to "word-based art" recently. I think there are some basic concepts, but ultimately it's a matter of trusting and respecting the artist's vision.</p>

<p>Two very striking art works by Matt! Can they be also "Asemic writing"?</p>
<p>Once color and forms develop from just typed or linear script, vispo soars!</p>
<p>Great blog, Sloan...(now get to those windmills ;-)</p>
