reading at Printed Matter for the closing reception of former UDP intern Francesca Capone's exhibition "Writing in Threads". Francesca Capone's exhibition runs from October 9th - November 1st at 99 Cent Plus Gallery. In Writing in Threads, Francesca Capone has invited fifteen writers to respond to her woven work. The weavings will be on exhibition with these corresponding writings, as well as e-mail threads where these woven-to-written collaborations were realized. Here, writing in threads takes on meaning beyond metaphor. Weaving is recognized as an alternative analog equivalent to digital writing forms. Notions of communication that might occur between a stitching circle and a community of writers are collapsed as epistolary relationships are formed that intermingle cloth and word. Readings by Mairéad Byrne, Maria Damon, Andrew Durbin, Ted Dodson, Ben Fama, Ian Hatcher, Lucy Ives, Mariette Lamson, and Sophia Le Fraga. More info here
