POLYSTRENE BRACES at Kim? Riga, Latvia
Curated by Anne Barlow,
Presented by Art in General, New York
I clambered over mounds and mounds
Of polystyrene foam
And fell into a swimming pool
Filled with fairy snow
And watched the world turn day-glo
you know you know
The world turned day-glo you know
I wrenched the nylon curtains back
As far as they would go
And peered through plexi window panes
At the acrylic road
I drove my polypropylene
Car on wheels of sponge
Then pulled into a wimpy bar
To have a rubber bun
The X-rays were penetrating
Through the latex breeze
Synthetic fiber see-thru leaves
Fell from the rayon trees
“The day the world turned day-glo”, x ray spex, 1978
