Description:"On June 7, 1996, some one hundred people gathered at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn to consider the array of contradictions and confluences engendered when verbal and visual media collide, connect and interact. The conference, 'Writing the Arts: When Language Meets Form', was the first of its kind at Pratt Institute, and generated considerable excitement about ways in which Pratt could further participate in the melding of media and genre...To commemorate 'Writing the Arts' and the remarkable group of artists, critics, writers, faculty, staff and students who made it possible, we have put together this modest book of photographs, presenter comments, and other information about what happened, what was said, and what the ensuing conversation generated." - Introduction
