::Public Reading: Bodies of Paint, Bodies of Text: A Poetic Response to Marlene Dumas

Tonight, the Menil Collection presents a Public Reading Organized by Sasha West (pictured), entitled Bodies of Paint, Bodies of Text: A Poetic Response to Marlene Dumas, tonight, Monday, April 13, 2009, 7 p.m.

Pursuing Gulf Coast’s mission to explore the intersection between the visual and verbal arts, poet and former editor Sasha West invites a group of writers to read poems that resonate with the Marlene Dumas exhibition currently on display at the Menil: Measuring Your Own Grave.

Through discovering what writers have had to say about similar themes—violence and death, sexuality and childhood, the body, racial and cultural identity—the evening offers a poetic dialogue with the exhibition.
