“What sets Michael Genovese apart from most artists is that the Miami-based talent typically engages an audience as a part of his creative process. And the ambitious proposal that snagged him the 2011-12 Visiting Artist title at the Frost Art Museum is no different. Genovese created sixty baked enamel finished aluminum plates and installed them throughout the Florida University Campus and other South Florida social spaces. He then invited the viewer to carve their thoughts, beliefs, or ideas into the, riffing on fifteen different themes including “dreams,” faith,” “stereotypes,” and “censorship.” Those who who engaged with the works left a lexicon of symbols and multilingual commentary that invested the objects with an unusual Rosetta Stone-like nature. The public input doesn’t end there. A second group was recruited to interpret these “P.S.” plates by transcribing the scribbles and markings into text, creating an on-line archive recording the wildly disparate descriptions. The artist then filtered these reactions and commentary to create an original body of work. The result is “P.S.-P.P.S.,” an artist call and response dialogue with with all types of broader implications.”
