Chekhov's Mistress
MetaxuCafe Event with Soft Skull Press and Moleskine
In a way it seems funny to do a local event when MetaxuCafe members literally span the globe, but I know how much I’ve enjoyed meeting other litbloggers over the past few years. So here it is, a summer literary event, a brief interlude to say hello to some people you might not otherwise get to meet in person. If you live in the New York City area and would like to come, just drop me a line so I can take your drink order, or at least put you down to get a copy of Kennety Koch’s The Art of the Possible: Comics Mostly without Pictures, and a Moleskine notebook.
Here are the details:
Saturday, July 8, 2006, 4pm – 6pm Spring Street (between Elizabeth & Bowery)
Please join us for a cocktail reception at NoLIta art gallery jen bekman with friends and members of MetaxuCafe, a Web community devoted to highlighting the best content from bloggers who write about books.
Featuring special items from Moleskine and Soft Skull Press for attendees who RSVP in advance to budparr@sonnetmedia.net.
———————————-
jen bekman (www.jenbekman.com) is pleased to present Meditations in an Emergency, a group exhibition of work in various mediums inspired by and interpreting Frank O’Hara’s poem of the same name.
From salad days at the Museum of Modern Art’s front desk to curating exhibitions and writing criticism later in life, Frank O’Hara (1926 – 1966) was a controversial figure in his time as today for both the content of his work and his refusal to draw formal distinctions between mediums. O’Hara was a pivotal figure during the particularly vibrant and creative era of the late ‘50s and early ’60s; he was a prominent poet of the New York School and collaborated with many of the leading New York School painters as well. O’Hara’s synergetic spirit carried across media and genre and impacted a number of artistic realms.

Looks lovely! - get some more photos next time, won’t you, Bud, you are wasted on a bar. What a great idea. Frank O’Hara’s work was reviewed in one of our papers just this weekend past.
