Please note we will be closing K and L entrance at North Campus for construction starting May 5th with work commencing on May 6th lasting for approx. 8 weeks. We are repairing the concrete deck just outside the K and L entrance which is deteriorating causing notable leakage and corrosion below (KB area). The work outlined above will bring:

howTo.write(poetry) Closing Reception & Artist Talk

Join us for the closing reception for howTo.write(poetry). The exhibition brings together two artworks by Mitchell F. Chan and Michelle Gay that deeply engage with historical texts. Each artist communes with another author’s writing through a computational translation of the original, creating a conversation across time, language, and media. The evening will include an artist talk with Mitchell F. Chan and Michelle Gay, moderated by curator Farah Yusuf. The talk will start at 6 p.m.  Light refreshments will be served. Exhibition dates: April 11 - May 5, 2017
