Free event

What are you talking about? (Previously titled Book Club) is a recurring event where we can come together to discuss ideas, in response to a curated reading list. Join us to discuss our second reading list, curated by artist and CAT studio resident George Kennedy.

What are you talking about? is a project that provides artists and audience with insights into artistic practice and process outside of the exhibition model, prompting us to consider what ideas, content, and material artists are engaging with as they shape the cultural landscape around us.
