More art talkin’ on Thursday
There’s plenty of places to talk, or hear talking, about art Thursday night. In addition to performance art pioneer RoseLee Goldberg at Arthouse Thursday, Austin Museum of Art and the Creative Research Laboratory also have gallery talks.
Dean Young: Poetry Reading
Together artist Chuck Close and poet Bob Holman created composite portraits of their friends for the exhibition ‘A Couple of Ways of Doing Something.’ In response, poet Dean Young reads his work, which is largely influenced by the New York School of poets and combines aspects of experimentation and surrealism. His ‘Elegy on Toy Piano’ was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. Doors at 6:30 pm., reading begins at 7 p.m. Austin Museum of Art, 823 Congress Ave. Free with Museum admission ($4-$5). No cost to museum members or UT students with ID.

Panelists will include Lee Chesney, Gloria Lee, Moyosore Okejidi and Dan Sutherland. 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. today. Creative Research Laboratory, 2832 E. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Free.
