description: Poetry. Art. Includes drawings by the writer. Cecilia Vicuña's INSTAN is composed in handwritten lines that move across the page with the instantaneous feeling of marks in a private journal, the bookt ransmits the energy of her performative works, where thread and poetic lines play at being one. The word/drawings are certain and fragile. In their power to preserve and transform, they offer hope in art and daily speech for radical change. "Cecilia Vicuña, born and raised in Santiago de Chile, has been an exile since the early 1970s. Vicuna has never accepted the boundaries between cultural disciplines, creating a terrain of her own ..." Lucy Lippard, "The Precarious" The Art and Poetry of Cecilia Vicuña."
