Book + Art: Haruki Murakami, "After Dark"
Saturday, November 17 / 2PM-3:30PM
Book: Haruki Murakami, After Dark (2007)
Art: Kunie Sugiura, After Electric Dress B (2001)
Place: Palm Beach County Public Library System, Hagen Ranch Road Branch (Delray Beach)
Murakami’s novel of late night encounters creates a world suspended between fantasy and reality, between midnight and dawn. Sugiura’s photo-based work, made to commemorate the Japanese avant-garde artist Atsuko Tanaka’s 1956 performance Electric Dress, exposes dichotomies of the grotesque and beautiful, danger and protection. Discuss the connections between the works and the imaginative realities they reveal.
Discussion held at the Palm Beach County Public Library System, Hagen Ranch Road Branch (Delray Beach)
