A Guerilla Reading by Charles Bernstein
As part of Kenneth Goldsmith's "Poet Laureate" program, he invites renowned writers to choose works in MoMA's collection, develop a response, and then select a space in the Museum galleries where they will perform the resulting readings and texts on Wednesdays. Bernstein reads Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams, Gertrude Stein, Elsa von Freytag Loringhoven, the Russian Futurists, Marsden Hartley, Francis Picabia, Wasily Kandinsky, Kurt Schwitters, Guillaume Apollinaire, F.T. Marinetti, and his own work in the exhibition Inventing Abstraction: 1910-1925. This program is part of the Artists Experiment initiative.
