Join us for an evening about (and undoubtedly with some) queer performance, hosted by CalArts professor Douglas Kearney. Douglas Kearney's second manuscript, The Black Automaton, was chosen by Catherine Wagner for the National Poetry Series and published by Fence Books in 2009. He has been commissioned to compose poetry in response to art by the Weisman Museum in the Twin Cities, the Studio Museum in Harlem, FOCA and SFMOMA. Performances of Kearney’s libretti have been featured in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and Europe. Admission is free. For more information, please call (323) 848-6460.
