SUMMARY:Inprint Writing Workout with The Menil Collection
DESCRIPTION:Free\, in person\, and open to the public\, registration is required. \nThis Inprint Writing Workout is full\, please join our mailing list to stay updated on the next time a writing workout is offered. \nJoin Inprint for an interactive writing activity that will flex your creative muscles in the exhibition Meret Oppenheim: My Exhibition. Experience for yourself the rewards and pleasures of creative writing. \nThe exhibit at The Menil Collection showcases the work Swiss artist Meret Oppenheim\, a creative visionary and feminist. She created art that defied neat categorizations of medium\, style\, and historical movement\, and her output included object constructions\, narrative paintings\, hard-edge abstractions\, witty drawings\, collages and assemblages\, and much more. The engaging exhibition\, the artist’s first transatlantic retrospective\, lends itself to contemplation and discussion. Writer and Inprint fellow Josie Mitchell will guide attendees in this free hour-and-a-half writing workshop centered around themes from the exhibition. No prior creative writing workshop experience needed. \nFor those that are interested\, please note that Associate Curator of Modern Art at The Menil Collection\, Natalie Dupêcher\, will present a curator talk to provide a close look at the Surrealist paintings\, drawings\, and objects of Meret Oppenheim. This talk is free and open to the public and takes place on Sunday\, July 10\, 3 pm\, at The Menil Collection.
