BRATTLEBORO — Poet Rachel Hadas and video artist Shalom Gorewitz present a fusion of poetry and digital filmmaking on Wednesday, July 29, at 7 p.m., in the Brooks Memorial Library meeting room. Their collaborative process has been described as not illustrative or narrative, but instead a kind of syncretic linking.
Hadas is the author of The Golden Road (poems), 2012, and the prose work Strange Relation: A Memoir of Marriage, Dementia, and Poetry (2011).
Her awards and honors include a Guggenheim Fellowship, the O.B. Hardison Poetry Prize from the Folger Shakespeare Library, and an Award in Literature from the American Academy-Institute of Arts and Letters.
Gorewitz began working as an artist with video and computers after studying with Nam June Paik, Gene Youngblood, Allison Knowles, and others at California Institute of the Arts.
Since then, he has been a prolific artist whose work has been shown internationally in museums, galleries, on television, and in other public and private places. His work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum, and the Reina Sofia in Madrid, among others.
The program is free and open to the public.
