READING ON READING
During
the my first phase of research activity during the Research Pavilion, Venice, I
was engaged in the collaborative practice of reading on reading
with Cordula Daus and Lena Séraphin.
Different
ways of reading can generate different registers of sense making and affect;
there is scope for testing experimental tactics. Reading can be activated
mid-sentence or half way down a page, allowing for detours and distractions.
Certain language must be rolled in the mouth before it can be digested, new
meanings revealed in the pauses and durations breathed between the words.
Drawing on their different research interests around language, Emma Cocker,
Cordula Daus and Lena Séraphin propose to test and explore different practices
of 'reading on reading' at various locations within the Sala del Camino. Our
shared exploration unfolded through a series of PRACTICES for Reading on
Reading: CIRCUIT POETICS; LETTERING; LOUDING THE
LAPSE; NOTICING ATTRACTION; RE-SENSING; WALKING-READING; WEIGHTLIFTING
Reading
