RADIANT RUIN is the closing ritual for the most recent cycle of NoVoGRAFíAS by Logan Phillips. A gallery show curated by Phillips and Sydney Ballesteros of COMMUNION featuring a set of metal prints, each in an edition of one, never to be reproduced in this format. The prints are drawn from Phillips’ work in the triptych of the “urban psychogeography spellbooks” NoVoGRAFÍAS 02, 03 & 04. Combining elements of photography, collage, sigilism and visual poetry, these images come from the intersections of dream logic and the quotidian built environment, exploring cycles of capitalist colonialism and concurrent time, as witnessed from the vantage of Phillips’ home in downtown Tucson, Arizona.

Since 2010 the NoVoGRAFÍAS series has been poet Logan Phillips’ vehicle to research and develop new approaches to writing and performance. Through installations, durational performance, art objects and print, Phillips explores the somatic experience of poem arriving to poet, hypnogogia and threshold consciousness, spells and the built environment of the aridlands.
