Sound & Vision II: For the Record
Celebrating Feminism, Music and Visual Art with a Group Exhibition of Imaginary Album Covers!
• Opening Reception: Saturday, March 11, 2023 | 4-6 pm
• Wednesday, May 3, 2023 | Closing event in the gallery with an afterparty at Cafe 9 in honor of Women’s History Month.
The art exhibition For the Record is a feminist celebration of music and visual art. It will take place at the historic Institute Library in New Haven from March 11 through May 6 in honor of Women’s History Month. The exhibit features dozens of artists who submitted through open call to make imaginary record album covers. The title—For the Record—comes from setting the “record” straight. Being allowed to speak- or sing- for ourselves, in our own true voices. This is a diverse and inclusive exploration of the roles of women in music.
For the Record will not only feature memorabilia from notable musicians but also album covers designed by local artists, and some treasures unearthed from WPKN’s extensive vinyl archive.
For the Record was curated by Martha Willette Lewis as a collaboration between The Institute Library, WPKN Community Radio and Café 9. The exhibit will feature an opening reception on March 11 with a May 6 closing reception and dance party to wind the whole thing down in style. The Gallery Upstairs at The Institute Library is located at the Institute Library, 847 Chapel Street, New Haven CT.
Don’t miss this fun, festive and imaginative exploration of feminism and creativity!

CT Poet Chris Schlegel reads at the Library
2023-04-15 12:00 - 14:00 | The Institute LIbrary, 847 Chapel Street, New Haven, CT, 06510
“Christian Schlegel‘s RYMAN consists of three talk poems, in the tradition of the artist David Antin. The first talk was conducted at the author’s desk in the Hudson Valley, the second over Zoom, and the third, in two parts, while he paced a cemetery in Ithaca and a businessperson’s hotel room in Albany. Topics include the painter Robert Ryman and his contemporaries, Romantic poetry, avant-garde film, obsessive-compulsive rumination, and friendship.
These pieces were composed ex tempore, recorded, and mostly faithfully transcribed, for an effect very close to speech, or thought in action. Something like poetry.”
