reading list
It would be wrong to say we're reading because of the current state of emergency. The underrepresented and underserved know this less as a state then it just is and always has been. We read to check one's state. To point out flaws. To exaggerate them publicly. We care not if they listen because we read to claim space. Real and otherwise — heterotopias. Our books are in flux, algorithmic, out-of-print, on loan, PDF only, spiral bound, damaged by the printer, and printed poorly. We barely exist. But exist we do, together with books pulled from the ICP Library because a book, a read collaborates with or rallies against. This program built on ICP's series Dismantling the Gaze, which considered looking, power, and visual culture in the #MeToo movement, and Queering the Collection, which presented work of and outside ICP’s Collections to expand the voices of queer artists
