Reading List UNBUILD: A Site of Possibility, Artist’s Reading Lists Back Artists and curators taking part in Drawing Room’s exhibition programme are invited to compile ‘reading lists’ that inform and expand the themes explored in their work. This list has been compiled by artists included in UNBUILD: a site of possibility which considers the impact of buildings on our bodies, our minds, our memories and our dreams. The selected artists use expanded forms of drawing to explore how the built environment represents our dreams and aspirations, cultural and physical displacement and the inequities of our patriarchal society. Titles marked with an asterisk * are held in Outset Study. Click here to download a PDF of the Reading Lists.
