“The desire to read a work of art is the annihilation of the possibility of experiencing that work of art.”— Carl Andre
We say: Whatever, Carl . . . . perhaps you should learn to read differently.
This exhibition has been commissioned and curated by CIRCA Projects as part of their ‘Presents’ series.
It presents poetic artworks by Kate Briggs (Paris), Craig Dworkin (Utah), Gareth Long (NYC), Simon Morris (Middlesbrough), Lucia della Paolera (Brooklyn), Nick Thurston (Leeds) and Eric Zboya (Calgary) that have, or will be, published by the York-based independent (self-) publishing imprint information as material. It also presents related artworks by Kenneth Goldsmith (NYC), Garry Neill Kennedy (Halifax, CA), Greville Worthington (Catterick), and an online-only collaboration between Thurston and Robert Fitterman (New York) hosted on circaprojects.org
The exhibition also includes personal correspondence from Carl Andre and Lawrence Weiner that examines the relationship between reading and art.
