Poets House
March 20th to May 29th
Opening Reception:
March 20th 3 to 5 PM
This interactive exhibition for all ages celebrates and documents the creation, over nine years, of a group of outdoor poetic spaces around the images of a bird, a tree, a labyrinth, a place to play, and the rivers of our thoughts, in a New York City Public School building – by artists of the Touchstone Center in collaboration with children, teachers and parents of the East Village Community School and the Children’s Workshop School.
Curated by Richard Lewis, with site-specific designs and constructions by Noah Baen, Kathy Creutzburgh, Carol Grocki Lewis and photographs by Susanne Michelus.
How Does a Bird Imagine, What Does a Tree Know, is an invitation, through the writings and art of both children and adults, of experiencing and finding the poetry of the natural world – everywhere, around us.
