The conceit of this salon series is simple, its name tongue-in-cheek. No Reading After the Internet is an out-loud reading and discussion group. No pre-reading or research is required. You just show up, read aloud with others and improvise an understanding of a text. To participate in No Reading is to invoke an exuberant not-knowing. Symbiotic in nature, No Reading takes place within other frameworks.

 

Symbiotic in nature, No Reading takes its cues from artists, the texts a means for interpreting an artist’s work; an artist’s work a way of understanding a text. The urgency of the project is in this action, of reforming publics and experimenting with the act of reading as its own media form.
