Until 2 September

Tate Modern, Level 2 Gallery, Bankside, London SE1 9TG
Free entry

Learn to Read is the latest exhibition in the Level 2 Gallery series which forecasts themes and trends in international contemporary art. This dense and visually diverse display brings together works by 29 artists which play with text, erasure and miscommunication. Learn to Read explores failed articulations, shifts and slippages through translation, repetitions, memories and humour.

The works resonate with the influence of Dada, Fluxus, Letterism and conceptual art.

Lia Perjovschi is among the featured artists. Internationally acclaimed Romanian artist, Lia Perjovschi, was born in Sibiu and lives and works in Bucharest. She is the founder and director of Contemporary Art Archive and of the Centre for Art Analysis, Bucharest, Romania, an ongoing project since 1985. Lia Perjovschi’s multi disciplinary practice recovers, collects, and disseminates the information which has been inaccessible to Romania until 1989. A highly developed personal archive is formed through objects, diagrams, texts, images and film.

Supported by CULTURESFRANCE, Pro Helvetia (Swiss Arts Council) and the Romanian Cultural Institute in London
