Gulf of Maine Books in Brunswick will host an afternoon with Lucy Lippard — writer, art critic, curator, activist and life-long Maine summer resident — at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 14. Lippard’s new book, “Stuff: Instead of a Memoir,” will be the topic of discussion.
Called “a playful and beautifully illustrated window into her adventurous life,” “Stuff” tells the story of Lippard’s life through her stuff where, “Each object is a memory — time and cultural histories are embedded in these objects.” Readers see the world and the author’s life in it through the stories of the various objects which live in Lippard’s house with her.
Lippard was one of the very first speakers at Gulf of Maine Books, back in 1979. The book store will have copies of “Stuff” available as well as several other titles by Lippard, including: “Lure of the Local: Sense of Place in a Multicentered Society,” “Overlay: Contemporary Art and the Art of Prehistory” and a new edition of her early novel “I See/You Mean.”
The event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Gulf of Maine Books at (207) 729-5083.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
