The Leiber Collection is thrilled to present ‘Something About Sculpture and Poetry,’ a special event with Artist Monica Banks and Poet Philip Schultz. Please join us as Monica and Philip discuss how the visual image and written word inspired them long before they met and how this inspiration has intensified and affected their lives together and their families.
Monica Banks’ work is held in several permanent collections, including The Parrish Art Museum, The University Museum of Contemporary Art at the U Mass Amherst, The Islip Art Museum, and LongHouse Reserve. Her work has recently won awards from the New Britain Museum of American Art and The Heckscher Museum of Art. She created "Faces: Times Square,” a block-long sculpture that stood in Times Square from 1996-2009, for which she won an award from The Public Design Commission of the City of New York. Her permanent public works are located in the Bronx, Binghamton NY, and Charlotte NC.
Philip Schultz is the author of eight books of poetry and two memoirs, including “Comforts of The Abyss,” where he discusses how his early life influenced his writing and the founding of The Writers Studio. His collection, “Failure,” won the Pulitzer Prize in 2008.
The Leiber Collection is located at 446 Old Stone Highway in the East Hampton hamlet of Springs. For more information, visit the website at www.leibercollection.org, email info@leibercollection.org, or call 631-329-3288.
