Radical Read-In
Printed Matter Inc., New York
Sharing ideas, opinions, questions, visions, rants, raves and reactions to artists' books with the rest of the world. While browsing through the shelves, having afternoon refreshments and sitting on the floor, visitors exchange ideas about the books they are drawn to or want to draw others to.
Come to Printed Matter this Saturday, September 10 from 5 to 7 PM for one last
Radical Read-In and end the summer with a bang! Share your ideas, opinions,
questions, visions, rants, raves and reactions to artists' books with the rest of
the world while there's still time. Printed Matter is located at 535 West 22nd
Street between 10th and 11th Avenues.
All summer long Radical Read-Ins have been bringing members of the community into
Printed Matter to share their favorite books or parts of books with each other.
While browsing through the shelves, having afternoon refreshments and sitting on
Justin Lowe's parquet floor made of tightly packed books in the Back Room, visitors
exchange ideas about the books they are drawn to or want to draw others to. They can
flag books on Printed Matter's table tops and bookshelves with specially designed
bookmarks that have room to note particular pages, make written comments, or leave a
name and contact information for future off-site discussions. Through the Radical
Read-Ins, LTTR promotes reading as an activist undertaking, one that can band people
together, revolutionize thinking, mobilize groups, or just expand a single person's
view of the world or the self. Come see what it's all about!
LTTR is a collective of artists, writers, activists and cultural producers who
publish the annual queer feminist art journal, LTTR, and who initiate events,
organize exhibitions, and promote the work of critical thinkers who reject absolute
self-definition and identification. Come participate in the collaborative spirit of
LTTR at Printed Matter this Saturday, September 10 from 5 to 7 PM and save the date
of September 24 for the Block Party that will celebrate the publication and release
of "LTTR #4: Do You Wish to Direct Me?" and the closing of Justin Lowe's Back Room
exhibition.
