For the second installment of ‘Poetry &’, please join us on the eve of May Day and the last day of National Poetry Month, April 30th 6-7pm, for ‘Basic Needs’, an immersive experience that reimagines the interplay of image, text, and sound. Through selected works re-created visually and aurally from the poetry collection Basic Needs (2021) by Vanessa Jimenez Gabb and a portion of The Guiding Dark (2018), a painted-lightbox series by Misha Tyutyunik (on view in Dia Chelsea’s talk space, April 27–30), you are invited to celebrate love, the labor behind it, and the light it creates. . . . Thank you for the opportunity @_joseolivarez and @theladybrewer . . . . #art #poetry #love #poetrymonth #mayday #labor #collaboration #dia #chelsea #artlife #gallery #fineart #diaartfoundation #modernart #basicneeds #lovestory #book #newyorkcity #nyc #vanessajimenezgabb #mishatyutyunik #partner #contemporaryart #light #colors #text
