From Robert Indiana’s “Love,” to Barbara Kruger’s “Untitled (Your Body is a Battleground,)” to  Wayne White’s Comical “Shitshow at Sea,” text has played a pivotal role in contemporary art, often highlighting the power and weight of words. While crossword puzzles have been a staple for nearly a century, recent years gave rise to games like Wordle and Connections, emphasizing the power and association of words.

We’re in search of 4 to 6 artists who take on this theme literally – aesthetically and creatively for both an online feature, which will run on Artsy and our Website from August 1st – 31st.
