A way with books - READING SEMINARS
Organizing group readings and discussions is an integral part of my art practice. I love to read and discuss with people interested. It is a series of ongoing projects with changing books, contexts and titels. These Reading seminars can take place with and without institutional contexts. The books, the places, the people change but the method is alwasy the same: communial readings and discussions. In most cases, I read wiht a given set of books = Portable libraries = or focus on texts by individual authors. All these reading sessions are recorded on video. The photographs taken are part of my art works and to be seen in relationship to my seminar/lecture works.
