Interludes
KHADIJAH QUEEN | KLEIN

The Interludes have been conceived as part of the In Perspective project. They will accompany some of the episodes, focusing on selected works by the contributors to the online section.
As musical interludes, each work will be connected to a music piece.

This Interlude features "Spectral Line" an unpublished poem by Khadijah Queen – 2025 recipient of the Cy Twombly Award for Poetry at the Foundation for Contemporary Arts – in conversation with Klein's it is what it is in d minor from the album sleep with a cane (Parkwuud Entertainment, 2025).

The poet chose one of her poems not directly inspired by Cy Twombly, but somehow ideally connected to his work.

Klein. sleep with a cane (Parkwuud Entertainment, 2025)

For an immersive experience we recommend to read the poem while listening the music piece.

Learn more about the Episode Four from the second season of In Perspective reading the essay Veil(s) in Relation by Khadijah Queen, especially thought for this online project.

We are deeply grateful to Khadijah Queen for her revealing words on Cy Twombly's work and the precious collaboration to the project.
