On October 28, 2011 artists Kofi Fosu Forson and Dianne Bowen will present their first collaboration project “Dismember The Night”. This collaboration evolved after weekly intense dialogue about art and life. On Facebook, Kofi and Dianne took it to another level, using the social networking tool, they responded to each other through what they have termed, “thread slams.” In association to the poems, they began a series of photographic portraits. These diverse artists were creating a new form of art originating in the vast space of the virtual world. Two artists from differing backgrounds, Kofi a theatre director and writer and Dianne a multi-media visual artist converse fluently through the two mediums of Poetry and Photography. Together they are two distinct voices as one in collaboration running parallel.

“A visual language of the liminal is exposed and shared in the guises and mannerisms of the artists. We are presented with their story of awakenings to themselves and each other. To observe the static moments so elusively missed by perpetual time. We are drawn into their world and enter their dreams. As man, as woman, artists and ourselves.” – Gaynor Evelyn Sweeney
