John Giorno's Black Painting and Drawings currently show at Nicole Klagsbrun Gallery (until June 12). On Saturday night, he performed Lorca, please help me! and other poems. In an interview with Hans Ulrich Obrist he admitted that (given the influence of Warhol, Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns) he began to see “the possibilities of found images through words. The way I found and used the material, . . . became a poetic form.”
