Summary: Wednesday, April 3, 2013, 12:30 p.m. Bernstein reads Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams, Gertrude Stein, Elsa von Freytag Loringhoven, the Russian Futurists, Marsden Hartley, Francis Picabia, Wasily Kandinsky, Kurt Schwitters, Guillaume Apollinaire, F.T. Marinetti, and his own work in the exhibition Inventing Abstraction: 1910–1925. As part of Kenneth Goldsmith's Poet Laureate program, he invites renowned writers to choose works in MoMA's collection, develop a response, and then select a space in the Museum galleries where they will perform the resulting readings and texts on Wednesdays. On selected Fridays, Goldsmith himself will contribute readings in the galleries. Visitors can meet the writers directly in their selected gallery. This program is a part of MoMA's Artists Experiment initiative.
