its bottoms mysterious ocean mirrors being that blaze that fail at spawned oxygen meters that rivet as spectral gladioli never by barren transmixture but by holographic mirrors that spiral & transmute by miraculous living pattern that forgo impasse by pure event not unlike hylic registration that abounds with deficit being amplification by wind by exploded crystallography sans formational shelter never scaled by poisoned algae by summoned mythical beckoning not riotous calligraphy or delimited doctrinal maze that tends to scramble its own mazes not as deficit or by torrential affliction but code beyond reversal not as philosophical expenditure being torrential by unknown emergence

Inner Palpability - Will Alexander

—Will Alexander, Inner Palpabilty

The Mike Kelley Gallery at Beyond Baroque presents Anonymous Stellar Ravines, a collaboration between artist Byron Baker and Beyond Baroque Poet-In-Residence Will Alexander, featuring an exhibition of surrealist images. From October 12 - November 23, 2024 About the Exhibit This collection of prints draws on the artists’ shared Surrealist tendencies, but also demonstrates the ongoing vitality of the techniques of automatism and belief in animism central to that tradition. Baker and Alexander share a connection to the lineage of Surrealism understood as a sensibility, not a style. Together the two augment each other in ways that open whole new dimensions. The visual-verbal dialogic intersections are almost refractive, each faceting the other the way a prism deconstructs visible light into a spectrum.
