Poor. Old. Tired. Horse. takes an imaginative and expansive look at text-based art practices, using the concrete poetry of the 60s as its starting point. The exhibition goes on to look at other practices from this era, and concludes with work from younger artists currently exploring the literary and graphic potential of language.
