Yesterday I read "The Whiteness of the Whale" at #MDMNYC at @whitneymuseum. The reading is still going on now!!! Head down in time for the Chase before the end of the night. #frankstella Thanks @brandeelovin for the jacket and the photo! (at Whitney Museum of American Art)
Full schedule now posted! Check out the 140 artists, writers, curators, editors, and more who are bringing life to Moby-Dick this weekend at @whitneymuseum. Fri & Sat, 11/13-14, 11AM-10PM+.
Moby-Dick: A Marathon Reading, A collaboration between the Whitney Museum of American Art and Moby-Dick Marathon NYC Friday, November 13, 11am–10pm, & Saturday, November 14, 11am–finish, 2015
Whitney Museum, 99 Gansevoort St, New York, NY 10014, Floor Five, Neil Bluhm Family Galleries
Free with Museum admission. No special tickets or reservations are required.
In dialogue with Frank Stella’s Moby Dick series, artists, and writers will read Herman Melville’s epic novel Moby-Dick; or, The Whale in the Whitney’s fifth-floor galleries. The two-day event culminates on the 164th anniversary of the novel’s publication in the U.S.
The event is occasioned by @whitneymuseum‘s exhibition Frank Stella: A Retrospective which includes some of the works from Stella’s series inspired by the novel, an epic 12 year project that includes one work for each chapter. At the same time, the Whitney’s new location on Gansevoort Street (Melville being a descendant of the Gansevoorts for whom the street was named) resonates deeply with the themes and setting of the book, and gives us a chance to celebrate Melville’s profound impact on generations of artists and writers.
The schedule will be posted shortly!

Weird whale words from our guide for readers
We sent this email out to readers to help them prepare, and they enjoyed it so much we wanted to share with everyone! Some “practice” words for strangeness/archaicness and pronunciation, not required obviously, this isn't a spelling test, but I think some people would be interested and I had fun looking them up. Get ready for a lot of great alliteration when reading!
We are very excited to be hosting (again!) the third and final day of mobydickmarathonnyc! Spoiler alert: it does not end well. Hear it all at Moby-Dick Marathon NYC: Day Three.
