This month, we’re pleased to feature Fred Sasaki and Dolly Lemke! Curated and hosted by Danielle Susi.

FRED SASAKI is the art director for Poetry magazine and a gallery curator for the Poetry Foundation. He also co-founded Homeroom Chicago’s “School Night” info show in which artists and professionals take culture to task in front of a drinking crowd. With his son and late father he is the author of the zine series, FRED SASAKI’S & FRED SASAKI’S FOUR-PAGER GUIDE TO: HOW TO FIX YOU, which has been adapted as a short animation.

 

Our next Six Points reading is on September 24 featuring Sara Henning and Rachel Mennies.
