Artifact Reading Series Announces a New Partnership with the Oakland Art Gallery

Artifact, a reading series of innovative writing, is pleased to announce that it will soon return from its hiatus in a new location at the Oakland Art Gallery. Centrally located in the hustle and bustle of downtown Oakland's Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, the Oakland Art Gallery provides a vital site for national and regional envelope-pushing visual artists to display work ranging from painting and sculpture to video and new media. The writers Artifact has hosted—who range from post-Language writers like Juliana Spahr and Lisa Robertson to New Narrative writers like Robert Glück and Dodie Bellamy—are certainly no strangers to unknown aesthetic territory, and this shared aesthetic, as well as the beauty of the space itself, makes the Oakland Art Gallery an ideal venue for hosting Artifact's textual experiments. This partnership will have its official kick off on Saturday, March 22nd, 2008, with a reading by David Buuck, Craig Perez, and Leslie Scalapino.
