Gulf of Maine Books in Brunswick will host an afternoon with Lucy Lippard, writer, art critic, curator, activist, and lifelong Maine summer resident, on Wednesday, August 14 at 4 p.m. The topic of discussion will be Lippard’s new book, Stuff: Instead of a Memoir.
Described as “a playful and beautifully illustrated window into her adventurous life,” Stuff tells Lippard’s life story through her belongings, with “each object a memory—time and cultural history embedded in these objects.” Readers see the author’s world and life within it through the stories of the various objects that live with her in Lippard’s house.
Lippard was one of the first speakers at Gulf of Maine Books in 1979. The bookstore will have copies of “Stuff” available, as well as several other Lippard titles, including: “Lure of the Local: Sense of Place in a Multicentered Society,” “Overlay: Contemporary Art and the Art of Prehistory,” and a reprint of her early novel “I See/You Mean.”
The event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Gulf of Maine Books at (207) 729-5083.
