Gallery Talk | Art & Life in Critical Zones: Curator's Walkthrough (online)


Curator Maria Lind presents her new exhibition on artists departing from from the split between nature and culture. Lind is the Counsellor of Cultural Affairs at the Embassy of Sweden in Moscow and formerly director of the Testa konsthall. Set in the Russian provincial capital of Izhevsk, Lind’s new exhibition homes in on artists whose practices break from the centuries-long idea that there is a split between nature and culture, signaling new ways to inhabit what French philosopher Bruno Latour calls "critical zones”—“the skin of the living earth” now at a moment of incredible fragility, calling out for extraordinary re-thinking of such things as land, landscape, territory, and homeland.

Lecture | Writing the Photograph: Russian Photo-Poetics in the 20th and 21st Centuries (online)


Dr. Molly Blasing will present material from her recent book Snapshots of the Soul: Photo-Poetic Encounters in Modern Russian Culture considers how photography has shaped Russian poetry from the early twentieth century to the present day. In this talk, we will consider examples of photo-poetic writing by Pasternak, Tsvetaeva, Brodsky, and other 20th and 21st century poets, to explore how interactions with photographs and photography expanded the Russian poetic imagination. Join us to learn about how the camera transformed the visual language, representational power, and metaphorical possibilities available for poetic writing in Russian. Molly T. Blasing is Associate Professor of Russian Studies in the Department of Modern and Classical Languages, Literatures, and Cultures at the University of Kentucky.

Play | Larry and Lucy: Drama Reminiscent of Midnight Cowboy, Whitnail and I


Reminiscent in tone of classic films like "Midnight Cowboy" and "Whitnail & I," Larry & Lucy is about two emotionally wounded outsiders struggling to find a sense of place in the world. The play touches on the themes of loneliness, togetherness and the continuing opiate crisis in America. Larry is a worn-out, 63-year-old street muralist who now barely supports his meager, one room Hollywood existence by driving for Uber. Lucy is a fragile Kansas City teen runaway looking to beat a heroin addiction. After a few chance meetings the two embark on a series of misadventures that help them gain insight into their troubled lives, yet also reminds them of the difficulties they'll face when trying to overcome their deep rooted afflictions.
