SERPENTINE LAUNCHES READER
Serpentine is delighted to announce the launch of a new online and physical publication focusing on innovation in long-form writing. The yearly publication offers space for deep research, reflection, and creative exploration across various formats. The publication launches at Reference Point on Thursday 27th February at a special event.
Committed to slow publishing, the Reader fosters dialogue between established and emerging voices. The publication will feature contributions from artists and writers passionate about crafting immersive narratives and exploring new literary expressions. A new project from Serpentine editorial team who previously produced Serpentine podcast, the Reader will explore editorial experiments and fosters conversations between disciplines.
The first issue of Serpentine Reader delves into circulation—the forces that propel us forward and the patterns that keep us trapped. From the movement of history to the endless recycling of ideas, circulation shapes how we engage with the world. This issue explores the myriad ways in which we navigate the currents of information, energy, culture, and meaning in our interconnected world. Whether circulation acts as a lifeline or a loop, a conduit for renewal or a mechanism of constraint, depends on how we choose to engage with it. As Serpentine Reader enters circulation, readers will be invited to consider the currents the world is caught in, the histories we repeat, and the possibilities for breaking the loop.
