| Description: | Enjoy music, tastings and art during Third Thursdays @ WAM. This November, join the Museum for a special (21+) tasting treat. Dressed in velvet suit and top hat, Jerome Cloche will share his fascination of Artemisia absinthium and the eccentric artists whose ‘success de scandal’ was the shock art of its day. Absinthe – the most fascinating of all drinks was recently legalized after a 100 year ban. You can now sip the same aperitif that so inspired the bohemian artists during the Belle Époque. As part of Jerome’s presentation, two of a 24 hour piano piece by Eric Satie will play continuously throughout 100 slides and a few scandalous readings from Baudelaire and Oscar Wilde! In addition, Museum programming includes a tour of art works from the Belle Époque and a poetry reading in Celebration of Frank O’Hara by poet Gerrit Lansing at 7pm. Always great company, cash bar. This is a 21+ event. | |
