BOEKS 16 : LEARNING
Slow Reading Club,
with a contribution of Charlie Usher
BOEKS is pleased to invite you to the opening of ‘LEARNING', an exhibition by Slow Reading Club (BE/FR), with a contribution of Charlie Usher. A cover version of a Marxist choral work from the 1970s, an impassioned .pdf about open-access education, a student choir, a collection of speakers sourced from flea markets, four matching desks, scores and scripts on yellow weaves, a UV printed poster, extracts from novels tracing the movement of eyes, and a xerox zine. In all these materials is a politics about the relationship between rehearsal and performance, onstage and offstage. In rehearsal, one learns to balance individual desire as it overlaps with collective decision making. What better place to test the mechanisms of learning than in the long BOEKS corridor bridging library and art school; skill acquisition by object or apprenticeship?
Opening Thursday May 23, 6:00 pm – 10:00 pm
Exhibition runs until June 12

Mon-Wed 9:00 am–6:00 pm,

Slow Reading Club (SRC) is a semi-fictional reading group initiated by Bryana Fritz and Henry Andersen in late 2016. The group deals in constructed situations for collective reading. SRC looks at, probes, and interrupts ‘readership’ as a way to stimulate the contact zones between reader and text, text and text, reader and reader.
