Curator: Look at this fascinating, untitled print by Felix Rozen, held here at the Tate. It's a lithograph, image dimensions roughly 343 by 591mm, featuring rows of abstract markings. Editor: My first thought? It feels like a musical score, perhaps for an alien instrument, something wonderfully cryptic and rhythmic at once. Curator: Rozen, born in 1938, often explores systems and codes in his work, hinting at hidden meanings. These rows could be interpreted as data streams, or perhaps a personal language. Editor: Exactly! It's playful, too, isn't it? The use of repetition and variation, it's like he’s building his own world, one symbol at a time. I find it incredibly inviting to decode. Curator: And it challenges the viewer to find order within apparent chaos. Rozen’s work encourages us to consider how we interpret information and construct narratives. Editor: In a way, it reminds us that art itself is a form of code, waiting to be deciphered and felt. A visual poem!
