Above are images from the launch event that I organised at Site Gallery for the publication Reading/Feeling, a new
reader that considers the meaning of affect in theory and artistic practice, programmed in conjunction with artist Anna Barham’s residency Suppose I Call a Man a Horse, or a
Horse a Man? The publication Reading/Feeling
draws together a selection of texts by theoreticians, artists and curators that
were read in If I Can’t Dance, I Don’t Want to be Part of Your Revolution’s
reading groups taking place in Amsterdam, Sheffield and Toronto over the past
two years, alongside newly commissioned essays from Tanja Baudoin, Emma Cocker,
and Jacob Korczynski and contributions by reading group members including
Stephen Bowler, Alison J Carr, Belen Cerezo, Victoria Gray, Linda Kemp,
Hester Reeve and Julie Swallow. The Sheffield reading group took place at Site
Gallery in dialogue with the exhibition Of All Possible Things by
Jeremiah Day, who also contributed to the Reading/Feeling
publication. Reading/Feeling was launched at Site Gallery with
a series of readings and performance actions by members of the Sheffield reading
group including myself, Hester Reeve, Allie Carr and Linda Kemp, alongside a performance reading by Anna Barham.
