Summer Reading List
Feel free to interpret or expand on the idea of reading. Your list could include music or podcasts, for example.
Choose three books (or other media) of any kind—fiction, non-fiction, graphic novels, etc. These texts can be books that you have read recently or things you want to read.
Write one paragraph or a few sentences to explain why you chose each text. You can include a short synopsis of the plot, relevant biographical information about the author, or any other details that might entice a potential reader. You can even include quotes from the text.
Include a narrative bio and any relevant links to your website, social media accounts, etc.
Lastly, send a few images of your work or studio (as jpegs). Include your preferred captions with each image. Curators can send me installation views of recent or ongoing exhibitions.
Keep in mind that none of these rules are firm! If your word count is off or you can only come up with two books, that’s fine.
You do not need to be an artist to contribute.
You do not need to live in Connecticut.
Send everything to jgleisner@gmail.com, and please feel free to be in touch with any questions!
There’s no deadline. I would like to continue this project over the summer, posting regularly.
I will be posting these lists on connecticutartreview.com throughout the summer.
