Over the last month, Devin King and Caroline Picard have been artists in residence at AS220. During that time they have been writing in libraries, conducting interviews and printing books. While they pursue separate artistic practices, they'll have a short reading to commemorate their time in Providence. Chapbooks they made at the AS220 print shop, will be available to peruse and purchase.
Devin King will be reading from his new book, The Resonant Space, a book of poetry that investigates the meeting place between youth culture, object oriented ontology and modernist poetics. Devin King is a writer, a teacher and a musician from Chicago.
Caroline Picard will read from her book, Psycho Dream Factory (Holon Press, 2011)--a collection of short stories that appropriates celebrity figures like paper dolls, colliding Woody Allen and his protege, MJ and Orlan and Dr Dre and the burning man festival. Caroline Picard is the Senior Editor for the Green Lantern Press. She lives in Chicago and writes regularly for Badatsports. The Chronicles of Fortune is a collection of comics depicting the joys and sorrows of an unhappy super hero.
Caroline and Devin will be reading on Thursday, July 28th from 5:30 - 7 p.m. at the AS220 Performance Space at 115 Empire St. Free & open to the public.
Both books will be available for $8/ea or $10 for both.
