Experience an evening of immersive performance and poetry unfolding throughout Reimagined: The Fisher Collection at 10, inspired by D.S. Waldman’s debut poetry collection Atria. Set in these galleries, Waldman’s poems meditate on specific artworks in explorations of grief, memory, disability, and love. The program, curated by the author, is structured into three site-specific movements that unite artists working across sound, poetry, ceramics, cello, dance, video, and performance. The collaborators will create experiences in dialogue with the art and architecture around them. Like Waldman’s poems, these performances will reveal the ways an encounter with a painting or sculpture can lodge itself in the mind and body, with meaning unfolding long after the galleries have been left.
