More Reading in Residence
May 18, 2013
I’m happy to announce I will be contributing 3 days of Reading to London artist Kaz’ upcoming exhibition floating world at Kingsgate Gallery this summer.

Over the duration of the exhibition period I will be reading aloud to individual viewers of the floating world, giving one to one readings to visitors . These readings create an engagement that occurs within an economy of time and attention. The resulting connection between reader and listener forms a moment of intimacy amongst strangers within a public environment.
In these scenarios the selection of text is based on an offer to read and relay what has not been made time for. The readings, excerpted from texts of contemporary and historical writers and artists, have been specifically selected to correspond to the floating world. Each chosen excerpt offers a deliberate association to the context of the given conditions and surroundings. What is read affords the listener an opportunity to engage with relevant issues and concerns present through the exhibition.
I will be offering readings of related texts on 15, 29 June and 13 July between 12 – 6pm.
If you are in London please come by.
