Another show that's sticking with me from the spring is Hew Locke's exhibition at PPOW "Listening to the Land" taking on power, force, colonialism and history. The show's title "Listening to the Land" draws its name from the poem by Guyanese political activist and poet Martin Carter that digs into the tension of the landscape that arises between the sea and the forest. Sculpture, watercolors, and hand colored prints made for a beautifully crafted show which was up at the same time as Locke's installation "Gilt" on the facade of the Met Museum. Check out Holland Carter's review "The Eyes Have It Hew Locke's Power-Challenging Show.'
