‘A LIVING POEM’ pages

A New York show built from the earliest pages of Sasha Stiles’s “A LIVING POEM” opened this week at 243 Bowery with 24 timestamped frames from the project’s codebase. (sashastiles.com) The exhibition is titled “A LIVING POEM: THE REMIX,” runs April 16 through April 23, 2026, and is presented by SuperRare and Objkt at Offline Gallery. Stiles’s exhibition page lists an opening party on April 16 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. (sashastiles.com) Objkt describes “FIRST PAGES FROM A LIVING POEM” as “a set of 24 unique, timestamped generative frames” taken from the “genesis codebase” of the larger work. The collection page lists 24 items and shows filenames stamped March 12, 2026. (objkt.com) To understand the pages, start with the original work: MoMA presented “Sasha Stiles: A LIVING POEM” from September 10, 2025, to March 3, 2026, in the Agnes Gund Garden Lobby. The museum said the poem rewrote and performed itself every 60 minutes. (moma.org) MoMA said each page was generated in real time through a bespoke language model, custom datasets, prompting, voice, sound, and visuals. The museum also said the work grew out of Stiles’s collaboration with “Technelegy,” an artificial-intelligence system she has developed since 2018 to emulate and extend her writing voice. (moma.org) The new Bowery presentation shifts that idea from a changing screen to fixed artifacts. Objkt says the frames are “unrepeatable moments” preserved from the system’s early emergence, turning a work built to keep rewriting itself into a set of discrete pages. (objkt.com) That move follows the end of the MoMA run by about six weeks. MoMA lists the museum exhibition as closed on March 3, 2026, while the Objkt pages in the new collection were published on April 10, 2026. (moma.org) (objkt.com) MoMA’s description framed the original installation as an “infinite text” inspired by text-based works in the museum’s collection. In the Bowery show, the emphasis is on first pages, timestamps, and material display: the record of what the system produced at specific moments, not only what it can keep producing next. (moma.org) (objkt.com) Stiles’s own exhibition listings show “A LIVING POEM” continuing in other forms after MoMA, including a March 2026 presentation at ZKM Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe. The Bowery show closes April 23, leaving one week for viewers to see the project as pages instead of a living wall of text. (sashastiles.com)
