On a global scale, the book's identity as both a cultural object and commodity has been rapidly shifting. As image and object, the book has an ubiquitous presence in contemporary art across disciplines.  

Oriented around text, (infra)structure and the reading body, Structures for Readingfeatures interdisciplinary artworks thathousemodulate or mediate books or texts. Many visualize the activity of reading speculative ways, asserting new landscapes for the consumption of knowledge.
