LongHouse Talks: Alexander Polzin

German sculptor and painter Alexander Polzin is inspired by mythology and the human condition in his work.  For LongHouse, he presents a tree-shaped piece, an homage to the siren called Parthenope  In addition to his work as a sculptor, Polzin also designs major opera productions around the world, a process of exchange between music, literature, and philosophy.  The American quartet Hammermusik will play a work by the Greek composer Konstantia Gourzi, who will be with us for the evening.
