A poetry program

Note from the curator:

"Someone I work with recently called me a liar, and I called them a liar back, and then nothing really happened, except the return of a childhood obsession with the 9th commandment. Exodus 20:16 of the King James Bible: Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. (There is a lot about neighbors in the Bible.) "Do not lie" is a quicker adaptation of this clunky, energy-draining original, which is also not an original, but a translation of a translation, as much a mark of the translators and their lives and their paychecks as it is of the Judeo-Christian God who commanded it.

It would have been funnier if my coworker claimed I bore false witness. I would have admitted it if she had, even though it wasn't true, I really hadn't lied. The phrase would have stung less on the outset, until later, when I would be suddenly subsumed, wondering what I had or hadn't done, what witness I truly bore. There is more action involved in bearing something. A burden is insinuated, and a beast to carry it. "Do not lie" is solitary, focused on the liar. "Do not bear false witness" is communal. Do not make new beasts.

These four poems are acts of bearing witnessing. Not falsely, but liberally: on beaches, train cars, mountaintops, dogs. In each, the writer bears the burden of storytelling, observing until they become the observed. There are no beasts, however, to carry this witnessing: only questions. Who are we witnessing, the poems ask. Whose lives are we bearing? Whose are bearing ours back? These poems remind me that witnessing is the first step toward acting. Toward flinging onself into the great, calling world." -- Bex Frankeberger

PET PROGRAM & FOOD PROGRAM

Curated by Bobbi Salvör Menuez

“Both quotidian and charged psycho-social material, we all have our own relationship to food. Although you can’t taste a video, many of us regularly consume & sometimes gorge on food video content. ASMR, MuckBang, recipe tutorials, food diaries, restaurant reviews. Yum? Yuck? Enjoy a buffet of videos exploring the many delights of the edible genre.”

“Are you a dog person or a cat person? Or maybe more of a legacy pet owner - with an 80-year-old tortoise named Bob in your backyard, or six birds you bring on the ferry to Fire Island every summer. Here we present a compilation of contributors, nearest and dearest non-human companions and their interspecies economies of affection.”

Bobbi Salvör Menuez is a transdisciplinary artist and actor. They have performed in institutions including MoMA, PS1, Bridgette Donahue, the Whitney, the Highline and Poetry Project. Frequent collaborators include Precious Okoyomon, Hyd, Colin Self & quori theodor. Their creative writing has been published with Penguin UK, Candy, & Cultured magazines. They write and art direct in house as Editor-At-Large for Purple Magazine.
