Marcy B. Freedman
An Artist Can Write and Read, too
On Sunday, March 12 at 6pm,
Marcy B. Freedman will switch gears.
This visual artist (and art historian),
will be at bau/beacon artist union)
not as an exhibiting artist.
Rather, she will be there
to read her writing.
Specifically, she will read
from a collection known as
A Jewess Knows a Jewish Nose: Stories about Stereotypes.
by Marcy B. Freedman
A sweet old pitbull with a bit of a temper.
A little white girl in love with a tall, handsome black man.
A group of ill-mannered, penny-pinching, obnoxious senior citizens.
An arrogant and annoying fool who doubts that beautiful women can be smart.
These are some of the characters who appear in the short stories of Marcy B. Freedman. The author has used this array of diverse protagonists to explore the complex issues surrounding racial, ethnic and gender stereotypes, among others. She has stated that her primary goal is to write as honestly as possible, ignoring political correctness and facing up to hard truths. Although there is an element of humor in many of her tales, Ms. Freedman’s works are intended to provoke thought about serious human conundrums.
Marcy B. Freedman is an artist and art historian. She has exhibited her work in more than 175 exhibitions around the country. She has been an instructor at local colleges, a guest speaker at local museums, and a curator of exhibitions for a variety of galleries and alternative spaces. For many years, she has used snippets of text in her collages and photographic compositions. For the last three years, she has been writing the scripts for her video projects and performance pieces. Now, she has decided to let her words stand on their own in short stories and essays.
bau is honored and glad to welcome back again Marcy B. Freedman for this unique event in the bau exhibition space in Beacon. Ms. Freedman gave an intriguing presentation of her video projects last summer at bau in collaboration with Gene Panczenko.
