This Month at The Dorsky Museum Sunday, May 1, 2-3 pm Curator's gallery talk on Thick and Thin: Ken Landauer and Julianne Swartz Ken Landauer and Julianne Swartz, independent artists and a married couple, have produced distinct bodies of work that complement one another in process, form, and effect but have never before exhibited or made work together. Landauer's drawings and objects play with scale and humor to provoke realizations about our expectations about representation and abstraction. Swartz's sculptures, installations, and architectural interventions shift our perceptions of space, form, and light. This exhibition includes a selection of recent and new works. Thursday, May 5, 5 pm "What are poets for?" Codhill Press poetry reading organized by Professor David Appelbaum The faculty poets of Codhill Press will present an effusion of poems on the theme of what are poets for in destitute times. This spoken arts performance promises to reveal the work of poetry in a profound and thought-provoking way as a multitude of voices express perceptions of the depth of the abyss of contemporary life.
