'masquerade' - Parallell Reading Groups
With the purpose of approaching the concept of Masquerade from different perspectives and contexts, a parallel 'think tank' was initiated and coordinated in Sala Rekalde, Bilbao by curator and researcher Aimar Arriola. These monthly gatherings, which took place from January till April 2009, were focused on the discussion of key texts which constitute some of the most defining theoretical underpinnings of the concept of Masquerade. For more information on the Basque counterpart of the IICD Reading Group visit Sala Rekalde’s webpage: salarekalde.bizkaia.net.
