Sunday Read #7 with Index Teen Advisory Board

Sunday Read is a monthly gathering for anyone aged 16–21 who wants to read, think, and talk about contemporary art together.

For the next session, Sunday, 14 December, 1 pm–3 pm, David Wojnarowicz’s ”Do Not Doubt the Dangerousness of the 12–Inch–Tall Politician” (1990) from ”Close to the Knives: A Memoir of Disintegration” (1991) will be read and discussed.

The previous sessions have been a close reading of Johnny Chang & Louise Nassiri, “Floating in the White Sea: A Foray Into the Contemporary Art Institution” (2018), Ursula K. Le Guin, “The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction” (1986), Susan Sontag, “On Plato’s Cave”, Hito Steyerl, “In Defense of the Poor Image” (2011), Kathy Acker, “Against Ordinary Language: The Language of the Body” (1993), and Audre Lorde, “Poetry Is Not a Luxury” (1977) and “The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action” (1978).

Sunday Read is a place for shared exploration. Each time, different types of texts related to art are introduced; poems, short stories, texts written by artists, exhibition texts or art theory. Do you know someone who you think would be interested? Invite them!
