David Antin: Talking, Always Talking
HAMMER | 7:30 p.m., Hammer Museum
In 1987 and 1988, poet, artist, and critic David Antin (1932–2016) used sky-typing planes to produce two Sky Poems over the skies of California. On September 29, the poems will appear again over the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. On September 27, coinciding with this historic restaging, a group of poets, artists, and scholars, including Eleanor Antin, Julien Bismuth, Aram Moshayedi, Marjorie Perloff, Jerome Rothenberg, and others, convene to commemorate Antin and his legacy.
This event is co-presented by the Hammer Museum at UCLA, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego.
