In a format similar to that of a book club, we periodically propose the collective read of a painting-related novel that culminates in the creation of a series of paintings inspired by the read and a popup painting exhibition of the artwork.
The project is open to anyone who’d like to join in the reading, from anywhere in the world. The painting assignment guidelines are proposed toward the end of the reading period. Instructions on materials, size, medium, and how to ship the paintings for the exhibition are also provided. Exhibition dates and location will be announced. |
