What: Triple Canopy is pleased to present Automatic Reading, a public seminar addressing the act of reading as a part of contemporary artistic practice. Open to the public, the seminar will bring together Erica Baum, Franklin Bruno, Corina Copp, Jim Fletcher, Ariana Reines, Mónica de la Torre, R. H. Quaytman, and others, whose work in visual art, writing, and performance is informed by the history of conceptual art. Participants will discuss how the legacy of conceptualism has challenged traditional notions of reading both as an exchange between an individual and text and as a public activation of the written word.
