    A. Campbell Park is a linear urban public park maintained by Campbell Park LLC of the Kirkpatrick Family Fund under an agreement with the City of Oklahoma City through Parks and Recreation. Oklahoma Contemporary is responsible for programming Campbell Art Park, and has previously and successfully mounted four public art installations: Orly Genger: Terra (2014–2016), Tomas Saraceno: Cloud City (fall 2016), Erwin Redl: Whiteout (2018–2019) and Jen Lewin: Aqueous (2020). In summer 2021 we would like to continue our presentation to the Oklahoma City community of public artworks by internationally renowned artists with Chakaia Booker’s Shaved Portions. Attached please find photographs showing the first four installations and proposed location for Shaved Portions. B. Specially commissioned for Campbell Park, Chakaia Booker’s Shaved Portions will introduce a sculptural scale not previously seen in Campbell Art Park. With its soaring heights and gentle undulations, the monumental work of steel and recycled tires will stand sentinel atop Automobile Alley for ten months. Optimizing the key aspects of sculpture, Shaved Portions offers different views from different angles and distances; and an interplay of mass, volume, and negative shapes. The overall silhouette of Booker’s installation will shift according to viewing perspective, including top view from the terrace or higher floors in neighboring buildings. The negative spaces serve as voids that then get filled by the people who walk through the installation. Oklahoma Contemporary is currently developing multiple works of dance and performance to interact with and activate the installation. Modular armatures of stainless steel to be bolted together as the skeletal structure will be wrapped in the rubber tire ‘skin’ that has been a distinct feature of her work.

Schomburg/Hughes Auditorium (Televised Live on C-Span’s Book-TV) 11:40a - 12:55p Who is the one true God? Who are the chosen people? Questions like these have driven a thousand human struggles through war, terrorism and oppression. Humanity has responded by branching off into multiple religions--each one pitted against the other. But it doesn't have to be that way, according to Bishop Carlton Pearson and many others. This New Thought spiritual leader will discuss these and many other burning questions with author and theologian, Obery Hendricks and others.

    annual report 2006-2007 INTRODUCTION Last year, our signature Readings/Workshops program continued its nationwide expansion, made possible by our successful capital campaign in 2006, which enabled us to establish an endowment to bring the program to six new cities. In 2007, we began supporting writers participating in literary events in Washington, D.C. and in Houston. In Washington, D.C., we funded events taking place at venues, including Columbia Lighthouse for the Blind, Edmund Burke High School, and Busboys & Poets. We also partnered with Arte Publico Press, Nuestra Palabra, and Literal magazine to bring writers to audiences in Houston. In addition to the cities noted above, our Readings/Workshops program supports writers and organizations throughout New York State and California, and in Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, and Seattle. Last year, we provided $215,050 to 732 writers participating in 1,745 events. Poets & Writers Magazine celebrated its 20th anniversary last year and offered a number of helpful special sections, including a collection of articles on the increasingly popular MFA degree in creative writing. The magazine also took a look at writers conferences, including old favorites like Bread Loaf and Yaddo, as well as some newer destinations—the Macondo Workshop for Latino writers and Soul Mountain for African American writers. We also offered “The Indie Initiative,” our annual feature on small presses looking for new work, and “Big Six,” a snapshot of the country’s largest publishers of literary books. Our Information Services staff continued to provide trustworthy and personalized answers to hundreds of writers’ questions on topics ranging from vanity presses to literary agents.
