To coincide with the Cambridge Literary Festival The Reading Room is an investigation into the creative possibility of the book. What can an artist make of the white space of the page, the text as site of intervention, typography as an instrument of re-imagination? 

Bringing together artists from a diverse range of disciplines The Reading Room will reveal a wealth of experimentation and playful reimaginings of what the book can be. 

Artists in The Reading Room:

Jan Ayton
Sebastian Carter
Anna Fewster & Olivia Laing
Sharon Kivland
Idit Elia Nathan
Helen Stratford & Lawrence Bradby
Visual Editions & Ali Smith

Exhibition opening times:
Preview: Friday 8 April 6-8 pm, all welcome
Saturday 9 April 2-6 pm
Sunday 10 April 2-6 pm
