Reading art and… is a series of informal meetings intended to introduce participants to key themes in contemporary art theory, using excerpts from seminal texts.

This session will take Mierle Laderman Ukeles’ Manifesto for Maintenance Art 1969! as its starting point. We will also look at writing around other artists working in the last 40 years who have sought to use conceptual art methodologies to reflect, and to challenge, our daily lives.
