\nPoetry Reading
\nEmily Toder
\nat Untitled (12 tubs)<\/p>\n
Poet and artist Emily Toder will read from her book, “Waste,” by the North Gate of the Park. The reading will be performed in front of Untitled (12 tubs) by Bat-Ami Rivlin, a sculpture made from discarded and second-hard bathtubs. Meditating on notions of debris, excess, and discarded matter, Toder’s poetry invites the listener to explore their relationship with the sculpture’s scavenged objects.
