They Lift the Sky brings together the work of Andrew Yong Hoon Lee, Miko Revereza, and Reyhan Yazdani, who engage distinct methods of writing and publishing to explore and negotiate the material limits of language and translation within their practice. Over the course of the exhibition poet Sheryda Warrener will facilitate two writing workshops. Through installation, workshops, screenings and discussion, the exhibition offers alternative forms to reimagine and think through different modes of artists’ writing and publishing.
The Summer School for Artists’ Publishing expands on Libby Leshgold Gallery + READ Books’ mission to create a platform and social space for experimental practices in publishing. By bringing leading local and international artists and practitioners together to present exhibitions, seminars, and public events, the Summer School explores the role of publishing in an expanded field of teaching, learning and production.
*They Lift the Sky is a line borrowed from Etel Adnan’s book ‘Shifting The Silence’ (2020) published by Nightboat Books.
