Reading Group #1 – Kinga Bartis

Reading Group #1 – Kinga Bartis

Reading Group is a conversation about a specific text or book, which has had a significance for an artist or curator. The first Reading Group conversation is with artist Kinga Bartis. Bartis will talk with Art Historian Philip Pihl about the essay collection On the Origin of Species and Other Stories by South Korean author Bo-Young Kim. The conversation will be based on two of the book’s texts: “An Evolutionary Myth” and “Stars Shine in Earth’s Sky”. Kim’s literature is difficult to categorize and mixes several genres, which from different angles tell about the relationship between man and the world today, a theme that is also found in Bartis ’art.
