SUMMARY:Daniel Greenberg
DESCRIPTION:Danny Greenberg is an artist\, printmaker and writer based in N
 ew York City. His work is composed between the spoken word and the page\, 
 the print and the vignette\, using language to empower an audience. He rec
 eived his BFA from Washington University in St Louis in Printmaking with a
  minor in Writing\, MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Print Media\, and
  attended Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2018. Recent solo 
 exhibitions include if one thing matters\, then everything matters two at 
 Muted Horn Gallery in Cleveland Ohio and Beauty is a Thing of Guilt Foreve
 r at Tuttle Gallery in Baltimore\, Maryland.\n\nGreenberg will deliver the
  lecture "He Will Not See Me Stopping Here."\n\nFrom Greenberg: The first 
 and only poem I memorized was "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening" by R
 obert Frost. My teacher had us walk around the school building reading th
 e lines silently to the rhythm of our footsteps\, until we could recite th
 em verbatim. In this activity\, gesture and language merged\, and words ac
 ted as physical things\, propelling the body forward. More recently\, a fr
 iend told me that anyone who thinks about the world in a critical way has 
 thought about suicide at least once\, even as a passing thought. I wrote a
 n essay about the poem "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening" in ninth gra
 de\, interpreting it as a feeling of world-weariness - but then\, "I have 
 promises to keep\, And miles to go before I sleep." I am thankful to my te
 acher who allowed me to experiment with writing at a young age without cen
 sorship\, or stigmatizing intellectual curiosity around suicide. I wish I 
 still had that essay. It feels like a thesis for everything I have made an
 d written since. In an interview\, Peter Schjeldahl posits that every grea
 t American symbol is about loneliness - the river\, the open road\, the wh
 iteness of the whale. With all of this said - the lecture will be a chance
  for me to contend with my mixed emotions around corporate and governmenta
 l structures meant to protect individuals\, collaboration with or creation
  of an artwork postmortem\, and the making of words into gestures\, back t
 o words again\, using free association and poetics as tools to dig in deep
 .
