OneBook Outdoor Picnic at Monument Square, Concord, MA,Town

Center, to discuss "Created Commons" by Lewis Hyde

Thursday, November 4, 5:30 - 7:30 p.m.

Please bring your own picnic, although some surprise delicacies may be provided.

AIC is joining Mildred's Lane Renovating Walden artist J. Morgan Puett to host an evening picnic on Monument Square to discuss Lewis Hyde's assertion that "despite his fabled independence, we would not have his [Thoreau's] work were it not for the remarkably rich community and communal institutions that surrounded him in Concord."

The "Created Commons" reading can be downloaded from the AIC website. NOTE: We have arranged an alternative indoor site for the picnic in case of inclement weather; please check the AIC website on Thursday for up-to-date information on where we'll be meeting.

Philosophers' Walk Through Urban Nature
Thursday, November 11, 10 a.m. - noon, location in Boston TBA
AIC transposes the shape and length of one of Thoreau's many walks onto the Boston landscape, thereby setting the stage for a philosopher's walk through urban nature. Join us, artist J. Morgan Puett and some surprise guests as we walk and think about the relationship between town and country, society and nature. (Check our website next week for starting location.)

The Mildred's Lane Renovating Walden installation, spearheaded by noted American artists J. Morgan Puett and Mark Dion and curated by curatorsquared (Ginger Gregg Duggan and Judith Hoos Fox), is on view at Tufts University Art Gallery through November 14. These two Ganoderma Lucidum Lyceum events have been organized by J. Morgan Puett and Artists in Context.
