Haiku Reviews: From 'Broad Daylight' To 'Dark Matters' (PHOTOS)

HuffPost Arts' Haiku Reviews is a new weekly feature where invited critics review exhibitions and performances in short form. Some will be in the traditional Haiku form of 5x7x5 syllables, others might be a sonnet or a string of words together. This week, Marina Cashdan, James Scarborough, George Heymont, Dorothy Spears, and Mat Gleason give quick takes on performing and visual art from LA to London. Is there a show or performance that you think people should know about? Write a Haiku with a link and shine a light on something you think is noteworthy too

Love the Kuksi. He's got some more amazing work displayed on his website at kuksi.com.

Haiku re-view? No!
Critics, like fat swollen tics,
Suck worth from others.

Haiku, redo: Yo!
Being clever, finding words!
You don't see these truths.

Haiku from you? Oh?
The critic is now the star,
Artist forgotten.

Humbug! Hey, you guys!
Lowbrow Tarot Project sings,
Your egos deafen.

Kuksi!!!!
Love Kuksi. He's like Hieronymus Bosch, if Bosch worked in sculpture.

Steve Roden at the Armory Center for the Arts

uniquely in step
abstraction when recoiling
reconstructs in-line

away from replication
form, pattern exemplified
exalt expression

time is a tick-tock
pace, spontaneous taps
memory fades new options...

sound – when noise meets things
wakes of urban synapses
on the 28th

Steve Roden sound performance coming October, (on the 28th, silly)
