READ
For the first part of the day of the event Read & Repair, Vijai is bringing several copies of the book The Artist Job Description (2022) and would like to propose a collective reading of selected portions of the book. From the recounting of an individual experience, Vijai hopes that the collective reading opens a space for a broader discussion around the topic where we can share our own relationships with and in art institutions.

Just after the beginning, there’s sometimes an Artist Contract.
Bound in A4 (or A4-adjacent) pages, contracts follow a now recognisable pattern of feeling out interest and availability through suggestive meetings, a flirtatious scouting of intentions, separate coffees with friends gauging the legitimacies of rumours we heard, and a settling on whether the collaboration is workable; whether our characters are compatible.
If this then that: The Agreements Card Game sets out to take place at some point(s) within this contract dance, and proposes a starting point for artists and arts workers to work out their common language by airing the hidden expectations of our agreements.
From August 2022 to February 2023, Varia Library and Rotterdam Electronica Depot hold Read & Repair events on the last Saturday of every month.
