Cleveland Museum of Art Logo
March 17, 2021 - 12:00 PM

How many stories can a work of art tell?  

The series An Art Anthology, accompanies the CMA exhibition . Developed in collaboration with the creative writing organization , the series invites four local storytellers to offer artful interpretations of select objects on view in the show. 

For the first chapter, playwright  (The Velocity of Autumn, Bright Ideas) draws from photographs of popular tourist locales to create the dramatic monologue “That Which Can Be Held.” Watch Coble’s live performance and, afterward, join him and curator Barbara Tannenbaum for a conversation about the fantasy and romance of travel in images and spoken word.
