Reading | Darger/Melville: The Debauchery of Weather, a Literary Mash-up

Wednesday, August 22, 2012, 7:30 pm

Free

The American Folk Art Museum is presenting this reading in conjunction with its exhibition Compass: Folk Art in Four Directions.

Speakers: Kevin Miller, curator/educator, and Nicole Haroutunian, writer/educator. Performer: Josh Weinstein, actor.

The words of 19th-century New York City writer Herman Melville and 20th-century Chicago artist Henry Darger, both icons in their own right, come alive for a literary mash-up! Join curator/educator Kevin Miller, writer/educator Nicole Haroutunian, and actor Josh Weinstein for a special reading of excerpts from Darger’s weather journals and passages from Melville’s Moby-Dick. Explore the role weather played for both of these cultural figures and their work. The dramatic evening will be augmented by projections of Darger’s watercolors and Moby-Dick illustrations by artist Matt Kish.
