Time To Read

This week for Art-a-thon Bread and Roses, we highlight reading as a valuable form of research, production, community building and life-long learning. In this 24/7 productivity cycle of late capitalism, we make time to read! From September 21-23 visitors to Public Space One are invited to read together, log the book titles they're currently reading, share excerpts, and subscribe to the Art-a-thon reading challenge to complete a book by Saturday, September 23rd. All reading hours are hosted at the Close House. Remote participants are encouraged too! Read from wherever you are and send the title/author and/or a photo of a page to gallery@publicspaceone.com

Don't have a current book?? You can check one out from one of the many libraries hosted at PS1 including the CAS Reading Room, IC Poetry Library, PS1 Zine Library, and LGBTQ Iowa Library.

Shout out to the projects/artists who inspired taking this time, including The Center for Afrofuturist Studies Reading Room, Dewey Decimal Days by Bureau for Open Culture, Jen P. Harris ARTISTS READ, Shannon Stratton, Barry Phipps Off the Shelfies: Portraits in Reading, GenderFail, and Wendy's Subway.
