The Master of Professional Writing Program at USC is participating in one of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s Late Night Art events, this one on Saturday, September 12, in conjunction with the museum’s exhibition Your Bright Future: 12 Contemporary Artists from Korea. 

MPW fiction student Sue Yon Kim will read in the galleries with Los Angeles fiction writer Leonard Chang.  A $10 ticket gets you into LACMA from 8-11 pm and includes the exhibits and collections, music, dance performances, and readings.

MPW participated in one of these Late Night Art events last spring, in conjunction with the two exhibits Franz West: To Build a House You Start with the Roof and Art of Two Germanys: Cold War Cultures.  It was an evening of massive sensory overload–art, music, language, refreshments, and swirling mobs of people, nearly all of whom were much more thin, sexy, and ironic than I.  Still, it was pretty wonderful, and I’m up for another go.
