Read / ing

What happens when we read? We dissolve. When the book ‘works’, when the writing demands the reader’s courtesy, when the story is riveting (and most often for selfish reasons), we dissolve into the narrative. We see it and not the words on the page anymore. Like magic. We ingest it and then reflect on it, adding to it our own memories, other people’s stories, gossip, the news. We become what we read and in turn tell the story.

The exhibition Read/ing is a personal, intuitive, sometimes psychological, sometimes political exploration of what Reading can mean. It grew out of a conversation.

With works by Yael Bartana, Rosella Biscotti, John Coplans, Koenraad Dedobbeleer, Edith Dekyndt, Jana Euler, Ryan Gander, Dora Garcia, Lothar Hempel, Dana Hoey, Roni Horn, Sarah Jones, Mike Kelley, Július Koller, René Magritte, Paul McCarthy, Christian Megert, Jonathan Monk, Matt Mullican, Rosalind Nashashibi, Navid Nuur, Wilfredo Prieto, Margareth Salmon, Bojan Šarčević,  Hannah Starkey, Thomas Struth, Alina Szapocznikow, Wolfgang Tillmans, Ana Torfs, Lidwien van de Ven and Francisco Tropa. The special commissioned wall piece by Nora Turato is postponed until further notice due to COVID-19.

Curated by Aveline de Bruin in conversation with Maxine Kopsa.
