Readings in Criticism with unbag

Organized with Brian Droitcour and unbag magazine, this series of readings and discussions occurs monthly and features contributions from Nick Irvin, Ajay Kurian, Jessica Lynne, DJ Boyd, Precious Okoyomon, Isaac Pool, Ariel Goldberg, Rin Johnson, and Laura McLean-Ferris. The gatherings focus on critical texts that explore the state of reverie, which is the theme of unbag’s upcoming issue.

unbag is a semi-annual magazine that promotes critical engagement with contemporary art and politics. Commissioning artists, writers, and thinkers who work outside of mainstream discourses, unbag functions as a space to explore ideas through discussion and exchange.

This event takes place at Artbook @ MoMA PS1.
