Simon Dinnerstein's Fulbright Triptych Exhibition and Essay Collection
An exhibition showcasing Simon Dinnerstein's The Fulbright Triptych is currently on display at the Tenri Cultural Institute in New York until June 9, after which it will move to the German Consulate General from June 16 to September 15. This artwork, which portrays Dinnerstein’s family in Germany, features among its fifty-seven images a 1918 exit visa from Russia. Guy Davenport's 1998 essay highlights that the baby depicted, his daughter Simone, was not yet born and draws connections to poets such as Louis Zukofsky and Ezra Pound. This essay is included in The Suspension of Time, edited by Daniel Slager, set to be published by Milkweed Editions on June 16, with contributions from multiple authors. Dinnerstein's art delves into themes of education, survival, and creative renewal.
