The Birds and The Trunk: A Reading and Gallery Walkthrough
For decades, the Esthetical Society for Transcendental and Applied Realization (aka ESTAR(SER), an international research collective) has stayed curious about objects and the attention we pay them. Their current exhibition at the Frye, THE THIRD, MEANING: ESTAR(SER), stages artworks in triads, pulling inspiration from the ancient fable of the "third bird" to prompt intimate conversations around looking, fear, fascination, and the complex dynamics of the museum space. Visiting artist Max Taylor-Milner, a contributor to the exhibition, will stop by the museum to offer readings from ESTAR(SER) essay collection In Search of the Third Bird and the archival poetics "special report" Opening a Pandora’s Box in the Archives of Attention.
