The MOMA in New York has an exhibit called Glossolalia: Languages of Drawing, that I wish I could go see. Actually, it sounds like some of my work should be in it...well, nearby it anyway...
This is an excerpt from today's New York Times review of the show:
"What links all the artists is the drive to work primarily from internal, private sources of inspiration. The word glossolalia, which means speaking in tongues, makes this point succinctly. It suggests that each artist, rather than adopting a familiar, academically certified style has created a unique language with which to express his or her own experience."
