Write and share your own poetry that explores the intersection of poetry and sculpture guided by poets Bruce Bond and Corey Marks.
Discussion and reflection will be guided by poets Bruce Bond and Corey Marks, whose respective interests range from jazz guitar and metaphysical inquiry to the nature of individual experience in a larger world defined by fable, history and pop culture.

The Gallery Lab series brings the spirit of experimentation to the Nasher galleries.  Join us for informal conversations, interactive presentations, performances, demonstrations and unexpected viewpoints on art with artists and voices from other disciplines. Expand your concept of a gallery talk and discover a fresh perspective on what it means to engage with the arts. Expect to be surprised!
