Don't miss it as poet, critic, and novelist John Matthias joins us today at 4 PM for a free presentation of his multimedia performance piece AUTOMYSTIFISTICAL PLAICE: A BALLET MECANIQUE SPREAD-SPECTRUM ECSTASY, WITH VOICES, based on his poem exploring the strange collaboration between screen siren Hedy Lamarr and avant-garde composer George Antheil that led to a critical component of modern telecommunications. Then, at 5:30 PM, head over to Knowlton Hall to hear a free Artist's Talk from Wexner Center Artist Residency Award recipient Sarah Oppenheimer (pictured above), who will be creating a site-specific installation for the Wex: a mechanical, rotating pivot system that will affect the way visitors perceive the thresholds, sightlines, and interwoven grids of the center’s architecture.
