PARK. Reader

 

 

 

PARK.Reader is an ongoing compendium to the public art project ‘PARK.’ that re-familiarises the commons and opens up new potentials for commoning, in anticipation of a future public park in Levanger. Currently in a digital form at www.park.levart.no , it consists of a constellation of texts written as reflections, theoretical expansions and companions to the commissioned art projects and events at LevArt. The publication, in its process and distribution, creates opportunities to study the complexities of commons as shared resources and knowledge, as social struggles for equality and dignity, revisiting questions on ownership, collaboration and caretaking, through contributions by writers from across the world. The publication will be available both as a downloadable ebook under the Creative Commons license and as a print edition; multiple texts will also be activated through reading groups and performances.
