curated by Art World Magazine and O ART CENTER
《艺术世界》阅览室特别项目“阅读+”
2018.06.22 – 06.24
O ART CENTER上海艺术书展主展场EVENT ROOM内
曾经我们质疑纸本阅读是否已死，但在书店关门、纸媒闭刊的风浪下，阅读这件事情仍是众多读书爱好者的坚持，甚至正在影响越来越多的人。作为一本拥有近40年历史的艺术杂志，《艺术世界》一直以来都在坚持策划和出版，将“读”的多种可能性通过印刷、展览、讲座等多种途径传递给读者。而这次由《艺术世界》精心策划的上海艺术书展三日特别项目“阅读+”，邀请阅读爱好者们走进这330期杂志，通过三天不同主题的杂志陈列来多层次地体验阅读所带来的快感。自1979年1月创刊以来，《艺术世界》始终以“艺术知世界”为宗旨，从当代艺术的视角记录时代。
40年前的艺术杂志封面长什么样？一本艺术杂志如何回应这四十年里的重要时刻？当代艺术和我们的生活是否真的存在藩篱？纸刊突破了平面后还有什么样的可能性？“阅读+”可能是探寻这些问题的最佳起点。
书展读者免费入场阅读。由于阅览室也是整个书展重要的分享会活动室，当活动进行时阅读室将暂时关闭。请书展读者按照EVENT时间表空档期进入，感谢理解。
About “Reading +” With less people reading on paper and bookstores and print medias shutting down, we question if the print is dead. However, there exists a large fan base of reading print, with its influence expanding. Art World Magazine, a contemporary art magazine about to celebrate its 40th anniversary next year, has been dedicated to curating and publishing, showing the readers various possibilities of reading through print magazines, exhibitions and lectures. During the three-day UNFOLD Shanghai Art Book Fair, the magazine`s elaborated special project “READING +” invites reading aficionados to explore the 330 issues from 1979 and take the pleasure in multi-layered reading experience through themed display of our magazines. Since its inaugural issue in January 1979, Art World Magazine, with the goal of “Knowing the World Through Art”, records the times from a perspective of contemporary art.
What is an art magazine`s cover like 40 years ago? How does art magazine respond to the critical moments during the four decades? Is there really a barrier between contemporary art and life? What kind of possibilities a print publication holds as soon as it goes beyond flatness? If you are looking for answers for those questions, “READING +” might be the best starting point.
