Read-Shifting Web
What happens when we rethink the book as a standard literary vehicle? When we rethink with the book toward other modes of reading and relation? 饾懝饾懍饾懆饾懌-饾懞饾懐饾懓饾懎饾懟饾懓饾懙饾懏 饾懢饾懍饾懇 is a communal reading room and literary art exhibition, featuring books borrowed from the personal libraries of local Asian/American artists and organizers.
As readers, Jenna Peng and Elina Zhang are interested in books: books as maps, books as extensions of the body, books as proof and proofs, books as a place to zone out, get some errant thinking done, books as where I gather myself, beside myself, books as reading rooms, in and of themselves, books as read-shifting, out and off themselves.
As curators, we are interested in shifting our attention from writing to reading, from reading between the lines to reading between friends. How do we attend to the way your reading shifts my reading shifts what is being read? How can we read the page鈥檚 diffusion, all that happens before and beyond it, and the page鈥檚 suffusion, with all this extra-literary company? A gathering of ways of reading and being-read, this show is a reading room of our own.
