About the Author’s Exhibition: Soundings, 1981
“The entire fall season at the Neuberger Museum of the State University of New York, College at Purchase, was occupied by a single massive exhibition: Soundings, a tremendously ambitious undertaking, curated by Neuberger director Suzanne Delehanty, which billed itself as “the first American survey of visual artists’ use of sound, music and acoustical phenomena from 1900 to the present.” There have been any number of exhibitions exploring the active engagement, conceptually or physically, of sound in the plastic arts. Most of these, however, have been in Europe, and those mounted in the United States have, indeed, not matched Soundings in their chronological or methodological breadth.” — Peter Frank is a critic and curator who specializes in intermedia. He is currently working on monographs on the Something Else Press, Fluxus, and artists’ records.

Robert Gregory’s
“Interferences” (Poltroon Modern Poets #8)
“You Won’t Need That”
“Change, the Skinny Man”
Description
Poetry. “The dark trees of midnight have always been as central to Robert Gregory’s poems as the flowers in the garden are in James Schuyler’s. I’ve always thought of Gregory as a solitary walker whose sharp eye never misses a fleeting shadow, a hidden bird, the barest hint of moonlight through the clouds. In YOU WON’T NEED THAT, all those elements remain, but they’ve expanded into a poetry that is more emotive, more surreal, where smoke can speak and trees are gods. Take that walk with Gregory and you’ll find, when dawn breaks, nothing is quite the same.” Robert Hershon.
