Lorraine O’Grady: Cutting Out CONYT /40 October 25–December 15

Before becoming a pioneering feminist artist, Lorraine O’Grady worked as an intelligence analyst for the United States government in the years leading up to the Cuban Missile Crisis. As part of the job, she read 10 newspapers a day and transcripts of Cuban radio stations. Language, she has said of this time, “collapsed.” She quit her job to become an artist, creating, in 1977, the series Cutting Out : 26 poems made from cut-out newspaper. For Cutting Out CONYT, O’Grady has taken these poems and cut them even further, creating “counter-confessional” poetry and “haiku diptychs.”
