SUMMARY:Tuesday Night Book Club: Liz Moore\, Long Bright River
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack and Michael Thomas\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is Liz Moore’s Long Bright River. In a Philadelphia neighborhood rocked by the opioid crisis\, two once-inseparable sisters find themselves at odds. One\, Kacey\, lives on the streets in the vise of addiction. The other\, Mickey\, walks those same blocks on her police beat. They don’t speak anymore\, but Mickey never stops worrying about her sibling. \nThen Kacey disappears\, suddenly\, at the same time that a mysterious string of murders begins in Mickey’s district\, and Mickey becomes dangerously obsessed with finding the culprit—and her sister—before it’s too late. \nAlternating its present-day mystery with the story of the sisters’ childhood and adolescence\, Long Bright River is at once heart-pounding and heart-wrenching: a gripping suspense novel that is also a moving story of sisters\, addiction\, and the formidable ties that persist between place\, family\, and fate. \n“[Moore’s] careful balance of the hard-bitten with the heartfelt is what elevates Long Bright River from entertaining page-turner to a book that makes you want to call someone you love.” – The New York Times Book Review\n\nWe are still waiting for more information about whether we will be able to hold this event in person. However\, we are also committed to continuing offering access virtually to Tuesday Night Book Club for all our new audiences! You can register now for Zoom access to the event. When you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. 

 \nPlease stay tuned for more details about an in-person location for this event when more information becomes available.

SUMMARY:Tuesday Night Book Club: Charles Yu\, Interior Chinatown
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack and Michael Thomas\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is Charles Yu’s Interior Chinatown. \nWillis Wu doesn’t perceive himself as a protagonist even in his own life: He’s merely Generic Asian man. Sometimes he gets to be Background Oriental Making a Weird Face or even Disgraced Son\, but he is always relegated to a prop. Yet every day he leaves his tiny room and enters the Golden Palace restaurant\, where Black and White\, a procedural cop show\, is in perpetual production. He’s a bit player here\, too\, but he dreams of being Kung Fu Guy—the most respected role that anyone who looks like him can attain. At least that’s what he has been told\, time and time again. Except by one person\, his mother. Who says to him: Be more. \nPlayful but heartfelt\, a send-up of Hollywood tropes and Asian stereotypes\, Interior Chinatown is Charles Yu’s most moving\, daring\, and masterly novel yet. \nWe are still waiting for more information about whether we will be able to hold this event in person. However\, we are also committed to continuing offering access virtually to Tuesday Night Book Club for all our new audiences! You can register now for Zoom access to the event. When you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.

SUMMARY:Virtual Tuesday Night Book Club: Jennifer Egan\, A Visit from the Goon Squad
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack and Michael Thomas\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan. \nJennifer Egan’s spellbinding novel circles the lives of Bennie Salazar\, an ageing former punk rocker and record executive\, and Sasha\, the passionate\, troubled young woman he employs. Although Bennie and Sasha never discover each other’s pasts\, the reader does\, in intimate detail\, along with the secret lives of a host of other characters whose paths intersect with theirs\, over many years\, in locales as varied as New York\, San Francisco\, Naples\, and Africa. \nA Visit from the Goon Squad is a book about the interplay of time and music\, about survival\, about the stirrings and transformations set inexorably in motion by even the most passing conjunction of our fates. In a breathtaking array of styles and tones ranging from tragedy to satire to PowerPoint\, Egan captures the undertow of self-destruction that we all must either master or succumb to; the basic human hunger for redemption; and the universal tendency to reach for both—and escape the merciless progress of time—in the transporting realms of art and music. Sly\, startling\, exhilarating work from one of our boldest writers. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. GET MORE INFORMATION ON HOW TO USE ZOOM

SUMMARY:Virtual Tuesday Night Book Club: Ernest Hemingway\, The Sun Also Rises
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack and Michael Thomas\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is Ernest Hemingway\, The Sun Also Rises. \nOriginally published in 1926\, The Sun Also Rises is Ernest Hemingway’s first novel and a classic example of his spare but powerful writing style.​ \nA poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation\, the novel introduces two of Hemingway’s most unforgettable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The story follows the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from the wild nightlife of 1920s Paris to the brutal bullfighting rings of Spain with a motley group of expatriates. In his first great literary masterpiece\, Hemingway portrays an age of moral bankruptcy\, spiritual dissolution\, unrealized love\, and vanishing illusions. \n“The ideal companion for troubled times: equal parts Continental escape and serious grappling with the question of what it means to be\, and feel\, lost.” —The Wall Street Journal \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. GET MORE INFORMATION ON HOW TO USE ZOOM

SUMMARY:The Fine Art of Denim
DESCRIPTION:EXHIBITION EXTENDED UNTIL OCTOBER 14!!\nDenim\, with all its symbols and dualities\, is a common item of clothing that unites many around the globe. Dad Jeans\, skinny jeans\, low riders\, bell bottoms\, boot leg\, wide leg\, no leg\, 501s\, 504s\, button fly\, stretch jeans\, the American dress code writ large across centuries. With so many styles available and ways to accessorize/manipulate the fabric\, denim has historically allowed for a freedom of expression representing both individuality and shifts in cultural movements. Denim comes in a wide range of blues and other colors\, washes\, fades and textures making it a perfect\, but not obvious\, medium to create fine artwork. Denim that was discarded can open up a new way of looking\, a startling way of seeing past the everyday. What we have abandoned\, will be presented again\, re-purposed from the lives we lived\, to moments we experience together “forever in blue jeans.” \nMonmouth University’s Center for the Arts is pleased to present The Fine Art of Denim\, a juried exhibition of artists who use recycled denim in new and creative ways. The works featured in this exhibit come from artists all over the United States and abroad. \nPieces were selected from almost 100 entries by juror Vincent DiMattio\, an accomplished artist and Monmouth University Professor in the Department of Art and Design\, where he has taught for over 50 years and served as department chair and as gallery director for more than 20 years. \nExhibiting Artists include: Michele Fandel Bonner\, Howard Brandenburg*\, Kerstin Bruchhaeuser\, Emily Budd*\, Don Coulter\, Allison Dent\, Debra Disman\, Heidi Drahota\, Shelley Gardner\, George Gianakopoulos\, Sabine Heinlein\, Malka Kutnick\, Tanya Lucadamo\, Bob Mosier\, Johanna Norry\, Janice Patrignani\, Leah Poller\, Mary Schwarzenberger\, Ashley Thomas\, Ann Vollum\, Shirley Wagner \nVirtual Exhibit:  \n \n  \nThe Fine Art of Denim Artist Statements \n \n*artists featured in virtual exhibit only. \nVirtual Opening Reception:\nJune 24\, 2021 at 7 p.m. via ZOOM

SUMMARY:Virtual Tuesday Night Book Club: David Guterson\, Snow Falling on Cedars
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack and Michael Thomas\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is David Guterson’s Snow Falling on Cedars. \nSan Piedro Island\, north of Puget Sound\, is a place so isolated that no one who lives there can afford to make enemies. But in 1954 a local fisherman is found suspiciously drowned\, and a Japanese American named Kabuo Miyamoto is charged with his murder. In the course of the ensuing trial\, it becomes clear that what is at stake is more than a man’s guilt. For on San Pedro\, memory grows as thickly as cedar trees and the fields of ripe strawberries—memories of a charmed love affair between a white boy and the Japanese girl who grew up to become Kabuo’s wife; memories of land desired\, paid for\, and lost. Above all\, San Piedro is haunted by the memory of what happened to its Japanese residents during World War II\, when an entire community was sent into exile while its neighbors watched. Gripping\, tragic\, and densely atmospheric\, Snow Falling on Cedars is a masterpiece of suspense— one that leaves us shaken and changed. \n“Haunting…. A whodunit complete with courtroom maneuvering and surprising turns of evidence and at the same time a mystery\, something altogether richer and deeper.”—Los Angeles Times \n“Compelling…heartstopping. Finely wrought\, flawlessly written.”—The New York Times Book Review \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. GET MORE INFORMATION ON HOW TO USE ZOOM

DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack and Michael Thomas\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is Colson Whitehead’s The Underground Railroad. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award\, the #1 New York Times bestseller from Colson Whitehead\, a magnificent tour de force chronicling a young slave’s adventures as she makes a desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South. In Whitehead’s ingenious conception\, the Underground Railroad is no mere metaphor—engineers and conductors operate a secret network of tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil. The Underground Railroad is at once a kinetic adventure tale of one woman’s ferocious will to escape the horrors of bondage and a shattering\, powerful meditation on the history we all share.

SUMMARY:Enter The Facilitatrix: Strategic Soft Power for Collaborative Artists
DESCRIPTION:Elliot Reed’s Enter the Facilitatrix outlines a select few performances and\, through the use of participatory exercises\, enacts some the process he uses during rehearsals. Rehearsal provides an invaluable tool for developing content\, building camaraderie\, and identifying the unique talents of each person in the room. Reed believes in play and respects “unscripted” studio time as a constant wellspring of potential. His role as director is to highlight\, edit\, and reassemble the material presented to him. This is only possible by treating the cast as individuals\, promoting a shared goal while developing trust between each other. A trusting cast is able to extend their limits and offer support\, because the fear of ostracism is greatly diminished. His objective is to share improvisational tools for generating ideas\, clearing creative muck\, and bringing people together—inspiration that extends to many collaborative\, creative\, and social disciplines. \nElliot Reed is a performance artist and director based in New York City. Working in realtime\, Reed creates solos\, ensemble performances\, and videos that center the live subject. His projects exist between people\, leveraging candid interaction among performers and audience. Utilizing a choreographic lens\, Reed assembles bodies\, movement prompts\, and narrative within exhibition spaces. As viewers move through his work\, the narrative arc moves through them\, unfurling itself in actual time. Reed is a 2019 danceWEB scholar\, 2019-20 Artist In Residence at The Studio Museum in Harlem\, and recipient of the 2019 Rema Hort Mann Emerging Artist Grant. Recent works include a commission with JACK Quartet (2020)\, MoMA PS1 (2021)\, The Getty Museum (2018)\, The Hammer Museum (2016)\, The Dorthy Chandler Pavilion (2018)\, The Broad (2017)\, University of Southern California (2016)\, and performances at MoonStep Tokyo (2017)\, MNSKTM Osaka (2017)\, VFD London (2017)\, and MOOI Collective Mexico City (2017). \nFor more information\, visit elliotreedlabs.com or email Amanda Stojanov\, Assistant Professor of Digital Media (astojano@monmouth.edu). \nThis event is being recorded for educational and archival purposes and it may be posted on our website.
