The Beautiful Necessity: The Regulating Lines of Claude Bragdon’s Transcendental ArchitectureWednesday, Aug. 4, 7 p.m. “In nature, in number, in geometry, in music, also, there is but one law, a law infinitely simple, infinitely subtle, incommunicable, evanescent. It is what Emerson calls the Beautiful Necessity. Gentlemen, let us build altars to that Beautiful Necessity.” First Fridays / Wide Open MicHosted by Norm Davis Along with other local galleries and performance spaces, W&B will be open on the first Friday evenings of each month hosting Wide Open Mic, and a series of other readings and performances in our Verb Café and Performance Space.
