PARTICIPATE
Reading the Work continues to grow through artists participating.
Reading the Work is an evolving observational framework shaped through artist readings, collection studies, and ongoing practice.
Whether you'd like to follow its development, submit your work, or contribute to future research, there are several ways to participate.
FOLLOW THE FRAMEWORK
Stay Connected
Receive Foundation Notes, new observations, workbook releases, public findings, and updates as the Reading the Work project continues to develop.
No obligation.
Just thoughtful updates when there's something worth sharing.
SUBMIT YOUR WORK
Begin a Reading
If you're curious about what recurring patterns may already exist within your artwork, choose the reading that best fits your current practice.
Every reading contributes to the continuing refinement of the framework.
With your permission, anonymised observations may also contribute to future research.
COLLECTION STUDIES
Participate in Future Research
From time to time Reading the Work undertakes collection studies exploring recurring patterns across different artistic practices.
Collection studies involve a longer collaboration and contribute directly to the continued development of the framework.

ON PARTICIPATION
"Reading the Work is not a finished framework.
It continues to develop through observation, artist participation, and the careful study of recurring patterns across practice.
Every artist who participates contributes something that theory alone cannot provide:
evidence drawn from real artistic practice."
