Spotlight: Write About Now at the NY French Institute

Don’t miss the next Write About Now on April 21st!

Write About Now is a lively series of talks hosted by the French Institute of New York. American and French writers of all genres – from journalism to fiction to history – gather to share their work and talk about its relationship and relevance to the contemporary world.

The next discussion will focus on the question of originality in literature. Texts build upon other texts, at times borrowing, quoting, or even merely echoing each other…Where is the original copy? Is there one? Should there even be one?

These questions will be discussed by a panel of four writers :

Professor of Media Studies Siva Vaidhyanathan and novelist Victoria Patterson for the American perspective. Essayists and novelists Yannick Haenel and Laurent Nunez for the French perspective. Moderated by Chris Lehmann, an editor at Bookforum.

This talk is part of the Villa Gillet’s Walls and Bridges series and Moustache Books will have a table there: come meet us!

Thursday, April 21, 2011
7:30pm – $15
Le Skyroom, French Institute Alliance Française

meet the artist Liam Roberts

By -
Liam Roberts’ fertile imagination transmutes images into abstract-like compositions of strik- ing energy and brushwork. He says that he is not a maker of pictures, but a maker of paintings, and that the viewer completes the work, not simply by looking but by the labour of seeing. Shakespeare, as usual, says it best: “Let every eye negotiate for itself . . .” Roberts’ mediums are acrylic, gouache, collage and ink. This show comprises recent and earlier works. Liam has exhibited in New York, London, Paris, Palm Springs, Geneva and Nicosia. He is represented in Dublin by Peppercanister Gallery.   www.liamroberts.com  /  roberts l@copper.ne
