Pat Steir and Anne Waldman collaborate on scroll publication 'Cry Stall Gaze' through Rutgers' Brodsky Center
Anne Waldman, a renowned poet, and artist Pat Steir have collaborated on a project titled 'Cry Stall Gaze,' featuring two scrolls—one showcasing Waldman's poem on translucent paper and the other displaying Steir's artwork. Released by the Brodsky Center for Innovative Editions at Rutgers University, this project presents the poem as a palimpsest layered over Steir's visual piece. An online version enables viewers to explore the artwork independently or alongside the text, which can be enlarged by clicking on specific sections. Waldman, who has published over 40 collections, including 'Kill or Cure,' co-founded The Poetry Project and is active in social causes. Steir, recognized for her lyrical creations, has shown her work at the Brooklyn Museum and the Los Angeles County Museum. Both artists possess vast teaching and editorial experience.
