Eve Wood will read from a brand new collection of poems entitled The Two V's, which was inspired by the epistolary relationship between Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville West. Join us for poetry, mimosas & coffee –– and view Wood’s exhibition Ravenology. At our newest location Track 16 is pleased to present as its inaugural exhibition Eve Wood: Ravenology. Wood’s second solo exhibition with Track 16 is a series of works on paper that explores her surreal fascination with the black bird. In some works the raven acts as a sidekick – equal parts protector, companion, and tormenter. In others, the ravens take on human-like form, preening in couture gowns. Eve Wood is a Los Angeles-based artist and poet. Ravenology is Wood’s second solo exhibition at Track 16 and the Riverside Art Museum currently has on view her first solo museum exhibition which continues through March 30, 2025. Past venues for solo exhibitions include Susanne Vielmetter, Western Project, Ochi Projects, and Sloan Projects. She is represented in Los Angeles by Track 16. Wood is the author and/or illustrator of seven collections of poetry and chapbooks, including The Artists’ Prison (X Artists’ Books); her latest book of poems, A Cadence for Redemption (Del Sol Press) constitutes an imaginary conversation between Abraham Lincoln and a 21st-century American woman trying to make sense of the chaos around her. Released in 2023, Wood’s most recent book comprises her collected essays for Artillery Magazine titled Remarks on Color. Her writing and poetry has been widely published in magazines and literary journals such as The New Republic, Best American Poetry 1997, The Denver Quarterly, North American Review, The Massachusetts Review, The Santa Monica Review, Poetry, The Seattle Review, and many others. She’s contributed criticism to Artillery, Tema Celeste, Whitehot, Art & Cake, and Riot Material. She holds a BFA and MFA (1992, 1994) from California Institute of the Arts and an MFA from UC Irvine (1996) in creative writing. She is the recipient of a Jacob Javits Fellowship and a California Community Foundation Fellowship.
