John Giorno

<p>The artist has engraved a short poem, <em>LET IT COME LET IT GO,</em> in white capital letters on a rock. The cyclical repetition of the words reflects the artist’s long engagement with Buddhism, as well as recalling the earliest days of artistic creation, those of cave painting and the first graffiti. Taking up this ancestral tradition of the artistic gesture, the artist inscribes his words on a stone installed in the public space – a contrast to the slogans that usually mark the walls of our streets – allowing everyone to appropriate this universal poetry.</p><p>The versatile artist John Giorno is celebrated for his poetry, performance, and activism. Giorno gained attention for his politically charged Dial-A-Poem project. In 1965, he founded Giorno Poetry Systems, a non-profit organization to support other artists, poets, and musicians. It produced events and festivals, operated a record label, and provided grants to help with AIDS-related medical costs. Giorno&#39;s work extended into various media through collaborations with artists and filmmakers including Andy Warhol, William Burroughs, and his partner Ugo Rondinone. Giorno practiced Buddhism for most of his life and in 2017 he retired from performing to concentrate on meditation, art, and writing his memoirs. Giorno Poetry Systems continues to operate today and invites artists, poets, and musicians to reflect on the work of other artists, poets, and musicians.</p>
