Vanessa Place, Reading, April 26th, 8pm. @ CAGE 83 Hester

Workshop is proud to bring Vanessa Place to NYC this April for a series of readings and talks.

Of Vanessa Place and Robert Fitterman’s Notes on Conceptualisms, conceptual artist Mary Kelly said, “I learned more about the impact of conceptualism on artists and writers than I had from reading so-called canonical works on the subject.” Poet and UbuWeb founding editor Kenneth Goldsmith said Vanessa Place’s work is “arguably the most challenging, complex and controversial literature being written today.” Pulitzer Prize winner Rae Armantrout said, “Vanessa Place is writing terminal poetry.” Bebrowed’s Blog said Vanessa Place is “the scariest poet on the planet.” Someone on Twitter said: “Vanessa Place killed poetry.”

* Also Opening That Evening, Al Masson: What does Vide Mean in French? An exhibition of performance documents.
