You're warmly invited to this season’s series of EKKM Reads — a collective reading group for anyone interested in art, institutionality and the questions they raise today.
The readings will happen on Thurdsays, at 18:00 on following dates:
- 30 October,
- 06 November,
- & 27 November (co-hosted with ENKKL)
EKKM’s team has a lot of thinking to do — about institutionality, role of contemporary art, and about its place in the local field. We’d like to invite you to think along with us during a series of open reading nights, where we read texts that intrigue and challenge us, and discuss them together with anyone who’s interested.
The format is open to everyone, requiring no preparation or registration. This ensures we all meet on the same page, with no hierarchies or expectations of prior reading.
No registration is needed, and participation is free.
EKKM Reads gathers those who care about contemporary art and its conditions — those who want to examine its role in today’s world, its position in the local field, and the institutional structures that support or constrain it. The selected texts connect to art in diverse ways and reflect questions that feel urgent to us right now.
The text for each evening will be chosen collectively on the spot from a selection proposed by the EKKM team. This season’s readings focus on change and how we cope with it.
EKKM Reads began in the fall of 2024 in collaboration with artists Yvette Bathgateand Jake Shepherd. The reading events bring together those who care about contemporary art and its situation – those who wish to explore its role in today’s world, its position on the local scene, and the institutional structures that support or constrain it. The selected texts are related to art and reflect issues that seem pressing to us at the moment.
The event series takes place in English (unless announced differently).
