Held in conjunction with the exhibition Ghost: Elizabeth Peyton, on Thursday, March 3 the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum will host a FREE poetry workshop: “High Art/Low Language: Experiments in Poetic Style,” from 11 am to 1 pm.
Peyton’s subjects shift from Oscar Wilde to Andre 3000, from ultra-eminent Shakespeare to hip-hop antagonist Eminem. In Ghost high and low culture share a wall, the boundaries between them blurred and broken. In this interactive creative writing workshop, we will consider these boundaries as they apply to language at large. What “counts” as art and what cannot? Led by Eileen G’Sell, instructor of English at Washington University and publications assistant at the Museum, this free workshop will last two hours and include lunch.
Space is limited and registration is required by Monday, February 28; please CLICK HERE to sign-up.
