Abstract: | Performance readings in ‘Reading as a Contemporary Art’, ICA London. An event conceived by Sarah Wood, with Forbes Morlock, Steve Benson and Clare Connors, Kate Briggs, Brian Dillon, Hester Reeve, Peter Jaegar, Nicholas Royle, Sarah Wood, and Sharon Kivland. Contemporary art-writing and creative writing continue to flourish. This Salon spotlights reading as itself an art: something to be cultivated, celebrated, enjoyed and thought about. Writers, artists, teachers and academics who work with, and on, reading present work and discuss what reading brings to contemporary art. There are traditions, theories and learned practices of reading but it's also a more or less spontaneous, private and unregulated occurrence. And what happens to reading when we are confronted by the unreadable? |
