23 - The Shipwreck Dress
A reading by author/Stetson English professor Terri Witek from her newest book of poetry, in collaboration with Cyríaco Lopes, Stetson professor of Art and Digital Art. 7:00 pm in the Duncan Gallery of Art, Sampson Hall
Dr. Witek has also written Carnal World (inspired by sitting for a series of portraits by Stetson Art professor Gary Bolding), Fools and Crows (featuring ekphrastic poems about Renaissance art), and Robert Lowell and Life Studies: Revising the Self. A chapbook, Courting Couples, won the 2000 Center for Book Arts Prize. Recipient of both a Hand Award for Scholarly and Creative Activity and the distinguished McInery Award in Teaching, she holds the Art and Melissa Sullivan Chair in Creative Writing in the Stetson University English Department.
Over the past three years, Mr. Lopes has exhibited in museums and art institutions in France, Germany, Poland, Portugal, the United States, and Brazil. His distinguished awards include, among others, those from the Museum of Contemporary Art in Saint Louis, MO (2003), the World Studio Foundation, NY (2001), and the Phillip's Prize from the Museum of Art of São Paulo, 1997 (trip to Europe).
Lopes and Witek created a piece, “Here a Very Odd Thing Occurred,” for the Stetson University Art Faculty Exhibition in 2007. The piece was a game, a book, an interactive poem, and also served as the exhibition invitation card.
This event is free and open to the public (Note: very limited seating). Cultural Credit applies for Stetson students. For further information call 386-822-7266 or 386-822-7719.
