This exhibition showcases the visual poetry of artists Mirella Bentivoglio, Amelia Etlinger, Elisabetta Gut, and Greta Schödl, employing diverse materials such as assemblage, screenprints, and artist's books. Gut emphasizes visual language, while Etlinger presents postal and tapestry poems. Schödl's work delves into the theme of repetition in her calligraphy.
