Book excerpt: "[Richard Misrach] saw the border, [Guillermo Galindo] heard it, and by coming together across that line of artistic practice, they've now created these 'border cantos.' Misrach has been using the canto literary structure, borrowed from Dante and Ezra Pound, as a way of organizing his long-term photographic project, Desert cantos (1979 to present). But here the canto also moves off the page and into sound, opening up into Galindo's practice. In Italian, canto means 'song'; in Spanish, 'singing' and 'chant.' In this sense, all cantos are part eye and part ear, able to bee seen and heard at once."--Page 10.
