In Writing

IN WRITING

treat gallery is pleased to announce our current feature; “In Writing.” From Robert Indiana’s “Love,” to Barbara Kruger’s “Untitled (Your Body is a Battleground,)” to Wayne White’s Comical “Shitshow at Sea,” text has played a pivotal role in contemporary art, often highlighting the power and weight of words. While crossword puzzles have been a staple for nearly a century, recent years gave rise to games like Wordle and Connections, emphasizing the power and association of words. “In Writing” features artists who take on this theme literally – aesthetically and creatively for both an online feature, which will run on Artsy and our Website from August 1st – 31st.

Exhibitors include Emilie Ahern, Maria Dimanshtein, Eileen Hoffman, Sherry Karver, ocean, Patrick Schmidt and Christine Sullivan.

For “In Writing,” 20% of Sales will be donated to Worldreader, a nonprofit whose mission is to get children in underdeveloped countries reading so they reach their full potential. Worldreader is headquartered in the US with representation in Kenya, Spain, and the UK, working with partners to get children reading at least 25 books a year with understanding, because readers grow up to have better educational outcomes, higher earning potential, and emotional intelligence. Since 2010, Worldreader has supported more than 22 million readers in over 100 countries.
