Minnesota Artists Organization: "Starting in 1972, Scott Helmes began writing experimental poetry and pursuing mail art activities and artistic printmaking/drawings. Since then his writings have been published, exhibited, anthologized, collected and blogged locally, nationally, and internationally. His writing archive from 1972 to 1997 is in the Avant Writing Collection of The Ohio State Libraries. Currently Helmes resides in St. Paul and works professionally as an architect in Minneapolis."
Scott Helmes: "My poetry is concerned with stretching the limits of language, exploring the multifaceted concepts of meaning, and encompassing all manners of reading. It also explores the concepts of typography, printing methods, and letter forms within the modern meaning of communication. The extension beyond the oral traditions of poetry is accomplished by a variety of techniques and materials: rubberstamps, stencils, typography manipulation, and xerox/collage forms. The viewer is intended to become an active participant in the 'reading' of the work, infusing their intellectual and emotional readings along with my authorship." |
