About this episode
Arianna Jobst, the Montclair Art Museum's first Writer-in-Residence, presents her literary interpretation of Robert Longo's artwork in this episode.
The Montclair Art Museum welcomed, Arianna Jobst, as it's first ever Writer-in-Residence this Spring. Arianna Jobst is a New Jersey native and emerging writer working primarily in creative nonfiction — short stories, essays, and novel writing that explore family, queerness, and identity. She graduated from the Literary Prose program at the Univeristy of Virginia. Her piece My Turn, voicing the frustrations of queer women and their female friendships, was published in the Virginia Literary Review. During the duration of the exhibition, "See It Now: Contemporary Art from the Ann and Mel Schaffer Collection," her literary interpretations of art on view in the show will be published weekly, with readings, such as this, released in our podcast feed bi-weekly. This piece, titled "Cement Dust" is an interpritation of the artwork, "Songs of silent running #7," by Robert Longo.
