Please join poet Rachel Hadas and video artist Shalom Gorewitz on Wednesday, July 29, at 7 PM, for a presentation where they will fuse poetry and digital filmmaking through a collaborative process that is not illustrative or narrative, but a kind of syncretic linking. The presentation is free and open to the public.
Rachel Hadas is is the author of The Golden Road (poems), 2012, and the prose work Strange Relation: A Memoir of Marriage, Dementia, and Poetry (2011). Her awards and honors include a Guggenheim Fellowship, the O.B. Hardison Poetry Prize from the Folger Shakespeare Library, and an Award in Literature from the American Academy-Institute of Arts and Letters.
Shalom Gorewitz began working as an artist with video and computers after studying with Nam June Paik, Gene Youngblood, Allison Knowles, and others at California Institute of the Arts. Since then he has been a prolific artist whose work has been shown internationally in museums, galleries, on television, and in other public and private places. His work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum, and the Reina Sofia in Madrid, among others.
