In society? How does artistic expression in and alongside social movements result in a solidarity of tradition, a larger communal identity? Starting in 2009, Susan Tichy and Helen Frederick have curated an annual exhibition in collaboration between the MFA program in creative writing and the School of Art. The exhibition is up during the Fall for the Book literary festival in September. The exhibit has been a themed Call and Response since 2010. Call and Response: a succession of two distinct phrases played or sung by different musicians, where the second phrase is heard as direct response to or commentary on the first. Common to African, African-American, American folk, and Indian classical traditions. Pervasive in military cadences. In West Africa: also a mode of democratic participation in ritual, and in public discussion of civic affairs. Call & Response: a collaboration between writers and visual artists, in which one calls and one responds. The result is a set of paired works, resonating with each other, demonstrating the interplay of artistic media, and speaking of our times. Call & Response 2015: Lineage is curated by Anne Smith, M. Mack, Marcos Martínez, and Qinglan Wang.Item Prodigy HouseLuman, Douglas; Luman, Douglas; Tichy, Susan“Prodigy House” is a book-length poem engaging with the legacy and practice of the “country house poem,” which examines the constructed nature of our awareness of and experience in space. Created as a pastiche or “remix” of language taken from novels and films featuring prominent physical structures, “Prodigy House” explores notions of use and perception of the rhetoric involved with the constructs of the “estate” and inheritance— whether physical or ideological.
