Overview
Although pervasive and multifarious, the role reading plays in
creative, curatorial and critical practice is commonly taken for
granted.
The Space of Reading responds to questions like: What
are we reading and why? How do we read? And how do we know what to
read? What makes for a great reading experience and what makes a
great reader? What are the relations between reading and
viewing?
