Thirteen color televisions. Portable. All from the mid-1990s. The three largest are lined end-to-end. Below them, eight smaller televisions, square, stacked in two columns of four. The stacked televisions suggest legs, while a second television draws our eye. The way it lists above a smaller one suggests a head and neck, fronted by a snout. At the rear, a handheld video camera curls off like a tail. At the top, two plastic air horns pointed upward. They imply the ears of an alerted animal.

Basil King, Tablet #3, 33x22”, (c) Basil King 2024 Artists Rights Society New York (ARS)
Basil King has shared with us at Jacket2 several of his remarkable new Tablets. We are delighted to present Tablet #3 — the paired poem and panel. The visual was made with chalk, charcoal, and soft moulding paste on prepared birch panel. Its dimensions are 30 x 22”. King's plan is to finish this series, at least for now, as nine poems and panels. The images of the panels, produced by Martha King with her phone, are meant to be part of this preview of the work. Those interested in knowing more, or seeing more (and finer reproductions), of the project, are invited to reach out directly: Bazink3@gmail.com. For now, we present the visual tablet above, and the verse tablet below.
