Learning To Fly When Time Has Wings

In a first-time collaboration, Franklin Street Works and PoemAlley will present tomorrow evening "Nine Works Of Art, A Dozen Poets, A Dozen Poems", a cross-disciplinary presentation where poets from Curley's will offer interpretations of pieces comprising the non-profit contemporary art space's current exhibit, These Transitional Spaces.

 Rainbow Painter, Dana Hoey

Curated by Seth Kelly, Spaces features compelling pieces employing photography, painting, free-standing sculpture, audio and video-projected construction to represent particular collective and subjective ideas of time and space, while simultaneously suggesting the impossibility of fully capturing such fleeting experiences.

"Untitled",  Adam Putnam

Matthew Buckierin, Dana Hoey, Adam Putnam, Karsten Krejcarek and Aura Rosenberg are among the nine artists contributing to the program, which began June 30 and will conclude August 26. For an advance peek of this and upcoming shows--as well as the elegant environment housing them, go to www.franklinstreetworks.org.

PA members reading include Ralph Nazareth, Veronica Jones, Caroline Holme, Jim Janke, Rolf Maurer, Rona Schenkerman, Cora Santaguida, Catherine Ednie (PoemAlley co-founder), Eleni P. Begetis Anastos (co-owner of Curley's Diner), Richard Duffee, Eva-Maria Palevich and PoemAlley Advisory Committee Chair Bill Buschel. Copies of a complimentary 'zine containing their work will be available both in the two-floor gallery and cafe areas.

Situated in an old row house near the UCONN campus, Franklin Street Works is less than one hour from New York City via Metro North and about one mile (a 15 minute walk) from the Stamford train station. On-street parking is available on Franklin Street (metered until 6 pm except on Sunday), and paid parking is available nearby in a lot on Franklin Street and in the Summer Street Garage (100 Summer Street), behind Target.
