fs presents ‘The Host’ a spoken-word performance by Freya Dooley as part of ‘Reading Week’ at CBS.

A text-in-progress read aloud about parasitic pop songs and a mind occupied. Things related and unrelated. Stops and starts. The performance will act as a fleshing out, an itch, a thinking aloud. A fourth draft of something not-quite. A part of, a gesture towards, an untangling. A feeling of sticking, being sticky, being stuck.

Part exhibition, part contemplative study space, ‘Reading Week’ sees a series of invited artists initiate peer support and study whilst presenting live works that deal with text and reading, words and speaking, linguistics, language, looking and learning. Situated around a specially made, malleable seating installation influenced by a collection of egg cups, an ongoing Reading List will be nestled there too, with the installation playing host to two Saturday afternoon Reading Groups also. All kindly housed in the gallery at CBS.
