The Power of the Collective: STUDY (& Other Poems on Art) by Yuko Otomo
In celebration of the publication of STUDY, a collection of "poems on art" written from the 1980s to the present, ISSUE hosts an evening of readings by Yuko Otomo. The author is joined by members of the Ugly Duckling Press collective, past and present, and those who partook in the making of the book.

With Anna Moschovakis, Steve Dalachinsky, Vincent Katz, Matvei Yankelevich, Ryan Haley, James Hoff, Marisol Limon Martinez, Linda Trimbath, Emmalea Russo, and special musical guest Vitto Ricci.

"I did the writing, but without the collective efforts of all involved, this book would not have been born."
- Yuko Otomo

The poems of STUDY (2013 UDP) are born out of Otomo's "double" identity as both visual artist and poet/writer. Subjects include Giotto, Michelangelo, Picasso, Kandinsky, Max Beckmann, Louise Bourgeois, Joseph Beuys, Cy Twombly, Robert Frank, Ray Johnson, Bruce Nauman, James Castle, and Horace Pippin, along with lesser-known artist friends of Otomo including Hughes, Silv, O'Hara, and more. STUDY consists of 2 parts; Part I: Poem Cycles, and Part II: Rolled Up & Unframed/ Miscellaneous Poems on Art.
