Verbatim is a text and art collaboration that pairs writers and visual artists from many genres. Together, the pairs create a gallery piece and a performance, which are presented on the same night. Last year, work ranged from a pillow stuffed with correspondence between collaborators to hand-drawn panels illustrating a visual narrative. Performances ranged from top-hats to giant underwear. One never knows what to expect!
Gallery show at Marmot Art Space in Kendall Yards
Performances at the Spark Center.
The gallery is a silent auction with proceeds benefiting INK Artspace.
This year's collaborators are John Whalen, Kat Smith, Brooke Matson, Chris Cook, Nicole Sheets, Emily Gwinn, and Devin Devine (the writers), and Tiffany Patterson, Robert Fifield, Jon Merrell, Kay West, Bernadette Vielbig, Dumbgun, and Darrien Mack (the artists).
