Innovative poet, Stephanie Pruitt, kicked off her 30x30x30 project which will result in “30 poems written by Stephanie Pruitt in 30 days inspired by works in the 30 Americans art exhibit at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts. Nashville, TN.”
On her process, Pruitt writes:
Everyday from October 27th to November 25th 2013, I’ll visit the 30 Americans exhibit and:
1. select a work from a different artist, stand or sit and write, write, write — producing a draft of a poem.
2. record and share a video blog discussing the poem, artwork, process, and issues related to the project’s BIG TOPICS
* On select days, invite community members to join me at the exhibit to write. With intentional outreach, we’ll gather diverse groups of people with a range of experiences, aesthetics, and beliefs about literary and visual art.
3. produce a professional documentary film, educational/conversation starter materials, and mixed media exhibit chronicling the poetry as public art process.
She’s got ekphrastics, film, video introspections, community involvement….wow! Here’s the first video from her project:
