Andrei loves Mina Loy. So does Roger Conover

Roger Conover conceived, designed, curated, and lent his collections to Bowdoin College Museum of Art for the exhibition Mina Loy: Strangeness is Inevitable – April 6, 2023 - September 17, 2023. Shaw Ruddock & Boyd Galleries

Mina Loy, dadaist, free spirit and uncoventioal poet is brought to life via this exhibition which features her written work, visual art, images and sound recordings. Its an exquisitely well curated, overdue commemoration that highlights the 100 years of poetry, art and song lyric influence she’s wrought by defying conventions of every stripe

At this event, Andrei joins a roster of international poets to celebrate Mina Loy’s poetry: Suzanna Zelazo (Canada), Roger Conover (USA & Slovenia), Lindsay Bernal (USA), and Gary Lawless (USA)

Roger is a wonderful poet. Additionally, he is the Executive Editor emeritus of MIT Press, and Mina Loy's editor and literary executor, and edited two important compilations of her verse: the Last Lunar Baedeker in 1982 and the Lost Lunar Baedeker in 1996. This two volumes brought her work to likes of rock legend Thurston Moore and experimental hip-hop artist busterwolf

Presented by the Bowdoin College Museum of Art. Free and open to the public
