An end-of-project reading by the seven participating poets in the CALL AND RESPONSE project: Pearl Pirie, Amanda Earl, Monty Reid, Sandra Ridley, Christine McNair, Claudia Coutu Radmore and rob mclennan.
Friday, June 22, 2012; 7pm,
SPAO, 168 Dalhousie Street, Ottawa
The
CALL AND RESPONSE project engaged two creative communities in a year-long
exchange of images and words. Artists showing work in the Red Wall Gallery have
had their photographic statements poetically responded to by writers curated by
rob mclennan.
This
interaction can be experienced as poetry and images come together in the Red
Wall Gallery for the duration of each exhibition. There will also be scheduled
readings, and a poem/image card for each pairing, as well as the inclusion of
selected images and poems in the next edition of Push/Pull magazine.
CALL
AND RESPONSE has been a nearly year-long project of poets responding to shows
at the School of Photographic Arts: Ottawa. Featuring seven Ottawa poets, each
responded to a particular curated show showing at SPAO, with each response available
in the gallery at the opening of their corresponding exhibits (as well as some
or all of the poetic responses online).
On
Friday, June 22, 2012, all seven poets will be reading from their responses,
with a slide show showing the works they responded from.
lovingly hosted by rob
mclennan.
FOR THE SAKE OF LIMITED SPACE, THIS IS NOW AN R.S.V.P. EVENT; please email the School of Photographic Arts: Ottawa at admin@spao.ca
