The Reading Room (2010-12) was a curatorial project, co-curated with artist ︎︎︎Dominique Hurth, that had the aim to maintain, archive and represent products of contemporary art practices evolving within printed and published formats. It presented a curated selection of over 75 artist’s publications (books, zines, magazines and newspapers) and related projects (such as fold-out posters or published audio projects). It established long-term reading rooms in Oranienstrasse and ︎︎︎Flutgraben artspace in Berlin, Germany, as well as ︎︎︎Grand Union in Birmingham, UK. There were also numerous temporary manifestations in the form of salons, talks, readings and lecture-performances, including by Stijn Verhoeff, Achim Lengerer and Karl Larsson.
