at the 2008 International Calligrapher's Conference, Chicago, July 23rd 2008.

C L I C K I M A G E F O R E N L A R G E M E N T Denis Brown is pictured dripping ink onto stretched watercolor paper panels 32 feet wide. Video projections on the rear screen as well as directly onto the panels featured remarkable images of ink flowing accompanied by mysterious music; all filmed, composed & recorded by the artist himself. Brown stated that his dripped vertical lines were a bid to reclaim the barcode as calligraphy, a theme developed from a class he taught on 'conceptual calligraphy' at a past international conference. The event was staged at 'Letters Mingle Souls' in Chicago; the 2008 International Conference for Calligraphy, July 23rd 2008. Credits: Screen supports built by Tom Kivland. Materials kindly sponsored by Dick Blick Art Materials. Setup assisted by Julie Wildman, John Foltz, Lisa Kivland, Liz Kivland, Karen Ness, Beverly Inman, Rosie Kelly & Arnie Mandell.
