Reading Room
Reading Room is a nomadic and collectively run portable bookcase and reference library on wheels, with an emphasis on small press. We have a cumulative and shifting collection of artist publications, zines, essays, books, poetry, and one-off printed matter, as well as site- or event- specific shelves.
The form and content of Reading Room provides a space for meeting, learning, and the exploration of the library. Reading Room is concerned with the function, aesthetic and user culture of library collections in the age of digital information, and their development in an austerity-stricken future.
We have no permanent home, so look out for us at an event near you…
