“The great thing about poetry, which I discovered in the early ‘60s: there are no rules!” —John Giorno

After a major traveling retrospective I John Giorno, organized by the artist’s husband Ugo Rondinone originated at the Centre Pompidou in 2015 and then culminated in a 13-venue retrospective in New York City in 2017, John Giorno (b. 1936, New York) was picked up by storied gallery Sperone Westwater, after many years with Elizabeth Dee. Giorno’s highly anticipated first solo show with the gallery, DO THE UNDONE opened this week in New York and runs through October 26, 2019. In 2017, the Louisiana Channel visited Giorno in his home on the Bowery where he has lived for over 50 years, for a tour of the legendary building, stories of its famous former inhabitants, and a discourse on Buddhism and the boundless possibilities of poetry.
