EKKM reads

EKKM launched a new reading group series EKKM Reads, the first meeting took place in September. EKKM Reads invites artists and art professionals, as well as people with general interest in art to participate in collective readings and discussions in a format of ‘blind date texts’. The monthly reading group’s meetings this season will take place on 24 October, 7 November and 5 December starting at 18.00.

EKKM’s reading group aims to address texts connecting to contemporary art in many different ways, and raising questions that are important to EKKM itself. EKKM Reads is adopting a format* where there are 3 potential options for texts for each meeting, brought by organisers and participants [optional], with a vote to decide on the text selection at the event.

Blind date texts format is open for everyone and no preparation or registration is needed. This way we meet on the same page without hierarchies and no expectations of having read the text beforehand. If you wish to propose a text, please write to anita@ekkm.ee

*EKKM Reads is co-organized with Jake Shepherd and Yvette Bathgate, who are 2/5ths of the artist collective, Tactics for Togetherness, and host the reading group ‘Blind date books’, using the same format. Both of them have practices rooted in collaboration and community-building, will curate the discussions of the reading groups in response to the interests of participants.

The next meeting of the reading group will take place on 24 October at 18.00 in EKKM’s bar. No registration needed, participation is free.
