In coordination with The Chinati Foundation, Roni Horn will perform Saying Water in conjunction with our exhibition of Still Water (The River Thames, for example). 

Poet G. C. Waldrep will read from his work, which includes the books Susquehana and Archicembalo, both very beautiful, highly ear-oriented works that engage and push against the pastoral tradition.

Poet Clark Coolidge will read from his work, which has been appearing publicly since the early 1960s. Strong as it may sound, in books like Polaroid, Own Face, and Ing, Coolidge established new ground for American poetry and poetics. It's decidedly particular work which most people consider difficult.
