On Saturday 22 March weewerk presents an informal talk by Barry Schwabsky on "Art, Poetry, Criticism." A noted art critic and editor, Schwabsky is also a poet whose book Opera: Poems 1981-2003 will be published in Fall 2003 by Meritage Press (San Francisco). This casual presentation will be an opportunity to discuss the intersections between creative writing and criticism, making and publishing.

Currently based in London, England, curator-critic Barry Schwabsky is a regular contributor to Artforum, Art Press, Art on Paper, the former editor of Arts Magazine, and former Managing Editor of Flash Art. His recent projects include the exhibition Shimmering Substance at the Arnolfini Gallery (Bristol, UK) and the introduction to Vitamin P: New Perspectives in Painting (Phaidon, 2002).
