Tim Kreiner on Jasper Bernes
The second spring meeting of the PWG will be Friday, April 6th, 4:00pm in Whitney Humanities Center B-04. Tim Kreiner will lead a discussion of “Lyric and the Service Sector: Frank O’Hara at Work,” the first chapter from Jasper Bernes’ recent book The Work of Art in the Age of Deindustrialization. For those with time who are inclined to see the full sweep of Bernes’ historical method, the introduction is available as optional reading. For those who are curious about Bernes’ method but have less time, the last pages of the introduction (p. 21ff of the pdf; p. 32ff of the book) offer a schematic overview.
As always, we will have snacks and drinks and sharp discussion. If you would like to know more about the group, or need the password for the readings page, please be in touch with any of the organizers.
