poem 1

handwritten in tiny print (most likely in pencil or ballpoint pen, perhaps sharpie marker) in a relatively obscure part of the gallery (i'm thinking along the underside of the windowsill, but this will of course depend on the floorplan of the show). mentioned in one catalogue as a scrawl of graffitti left over by a previous artist named Granger Tolman.

Steinway Street                                                                           
                                                                                          
Cardboard televisions can accentuate                                                      
the product in a furniture store window.                                                  
Smudgy noseprints yearn for Lite FM, air                                                  
conditioned showrooms.   

poem 2

the "card" of a nonexistent work. the piece should be described in one of the catalogues and attributed to Granger Tolman, but the card should not be mentioned.

Granger Tolman will be embedding poetry throughout the space.

"I will write a series of short poems (probably around five) and embed them within the fabric of Almost Something for the viewer to "find". Will the poems be seen as such? Will they be seen as prose, or as visual art? Will they be seen at all? This will be left to the perception of the individual viewer."
