The Reading Room

Thursday 27th January – Saturday 26th February 2022

 

The Artcore Reading Room will be free and open to the public on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays during January and February. For this period of time and whilst our gallery building is closed, we would like to open the Cabin on Osnabruck Square for public use, where anybody can pop in, read the books on display, buy unique artist-made zines and add to our public collection.

This informal library is an opportunity for the public to engage in the research and processes of some of the artists and organisations we work with on our projects. There will also be a series of workshops so keep your eyes peeled!

 

Radical Reading Group

The Radical Reading Group is an alternative reading group who meet once a month as part of the Artcore Gallery exhibition programme.

Together we discuss a range of texts which draw on current ecological and political themes in an informal environment. The syllabus is curated by visiting artists, curators and researchers, changing theme each month to align with our diverse exhibition programme.

The reading sessions enable the use of collective resources, knowledge exchange and support creative responses. All texts will be provided by Artcore prior to the session, to sign up please book a free ticket, or alternatively email aisling@artcoreuk.com if you have any questions.

We look forward to having you join us!
