Description
Betancourt’s typoems are reminiscent of many ideas in asemic language, Wildstyle, Cubism. Each and
every work is layered and architectural warm, and also filled with humanitarian fragmentation that allows
the imagination to move through these spaces.— José Parlá, artistBetancourt’s elegant asemic compositions,
spatially ambiguous and graphically complex, are deceptively lucid at first glance. But these works hover in
an indeterminate space, as if waiting to be collapsed through the perception of the viewer into an either/or
resolution of il/legibility. Instead, the poems refuse to become fixed and thus sustain an ongoing
provocation.— Johanna Drucker, writer, artist, and scholarMichael Betancourt’s Typo Poem is an extended
meditation on the glitches of language, where letters and words collapse back into their constituent parts,
becoming asemic. These poems are made from typography and the failings that always lurk just beneath the
surface. It offers an ongoing provocation for its readers, one which rewards re-viewing, re-readings, and
returns because on each engagement, what is and is not in the pages seems to change, despite being printed.
The excitement this work offers expands over time as its materials become more familiar and stranger makes
it a collection worth the time it demands.
