The AS220 Project Space presents award winning poet & collagist Keith Waldrop. Mr. Waldrop is the 2009 National Book Award winner for Poetry for his latest book Transcendental Studies: A Trilogy. Mr. Waldrop is also an accomplished visual artist , his "visual works are enveloped in quiet tensions and ghosted impressions. They construct densities of atmosphere and architecture, drift and dream. Rich in textual and visual play, romantic and contradictory in their shapings, his collages use traces of memory to gesture toward the absent and the invisible.. ."
Mr. Waldrop will read from his work on Friday, February 19 at 5:30 p.m. at AS 220, 115 Empire Street, Providence. The event is free and open to the public, is sponsored by AS220 and by the Graduate Program in Literary Arts at Brown.
The AS220 Main Gallery features the collages and assemblages of Tim McCarthy and works by visitors to McAuley House. A singer & songwriter, Mr. McCarthy's collages are inspired by his musical heroes and passion of the radical artists of the '60s. McAuley House is an independent non-profitthat provides the basic need of food, clothing, shelter, health services and emotional support to the most vulnerable. The art group has been meeting every Tuesday for three years, and each artist has a vibrant artistic expression. In the Open Window, Leah Winship exhibits her wispy and humorerous portraits of family and friends.
