Wide Lens: LISTENING
Thursday, May 8, 2025 5:30pm

Exhibition - A Roll of the Dice: Symbolism in the Sackner Archive
Friday, May 9 to Friday, June 27, 2025 (all day)
In 1897, French Symbolist poet Stéphane Mallarmé revolutionized the world of graphic design with a single poem that forever changed the way we look at words. His work illustrated how text conveys meaning not only through words, but also as visual symbols that contain a deeper meaning. For over 125 years, artists and writers have continued to explore the mystery of Mallarmé’s poem “Un coup de dés jamais n’abolira le hasard” [A throw of the dice will never abolish chance].
