Sirenes

Sirenes is a collaboration between the poet Allan Graubard and the artist Gregg Simpson. Allan Graubard notes that the title came about at an exhibition when he heard a fire engine snaking through the walls and realized that he had heard the theme for this collaboration. Poetry, art, and event twine in this sinuous flow of images. Allan Graubard's poems, plays and texts include And tell tulip the summer, Targets, Invisible Heads: Surrealists in North America. His plays have premiered in New York; Washington DC; Lafayette, Louisiana; Dubrovnik, Croatia; Sibiu, Romania; and in Modena and Lugo, Italy. He lives in New York with his wife, Carolyn McGee. Born in Ottawa in 1947, Bowen Island artist, Gregg Simpson, has been active in visual art, music, and multi-media performances since the mid-1960s. His work has been exhibited and published in museums and galleries in Canada, the U. S., Italy, France, England, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Chile and Australia.
