SUPERMACHINE POETRY JOURNAL

In News on February 28, 2010 at 10:04


THURSDAY MARCH 11th
7.30 to 11 pm

Supermachine Poetry Journal Launch Party. Featuring readings by Christian Hawkey, Genya Turovskaya, and others. Music by Body Actualized Control! For the past two years the Supermachine Reading Series has stood among the others as the hippest and most invigorating poetry series in the city. Having featured such visionary poets and writers as Trinie Dalton, Joshua Beckman, Dorothea Lasky, and Matvei Yankelevich, Supermachine moves fearlessly into print with an aesthetic that is hopeful, immature, accessible, daring, cosmic, anti-slam poetry (duh!), anti-academic (thankfully), and many other things.

Contributors: Lindsey Boldt, Brandon Brown, Brent Cunningham , Christian Hawkey, Will Hubbard, Paul Killebrew, Noelle Kocot , Natalie Lyalin, Derek McCormack, Lee Norton, Douglas Piccinnini Genya Turovskaya Jeffrey Yang Matthew Zapruder

THE ANT

The Invisible Dog proudly presents The Ant in the main exhibition hall. Artist Xavier Roux was inspired to create the sixty-foot long sculpture by the poem written by Surrealist Robert Desnos in 1942. This touching piece consists of a giant ant symbolizing the trains transporting Jews and other nazi victims to concentration camps. The Invisible Dog  and Xavier Roux are deeply committed to this exhibition. We  have embarked in the adventure of assembling the material such as nylon balloons, foam boards, sound systems, etc.  It is fabricated from four elements, which are attached to a steel structure. The Ant is made of four giant translucent nylon balloons attached to a ton and half steel structure fabricated with the help of Juan Alfaro who worked with Louise Bourgeois on the making of her famous Spiders.

Open to public until May 2nd
