Inspired by Permaculture’s third ethic, in which gardeners share their surplus, Opening Reading brings together artists and writers for readings and exhibitions in residential rooms.

Helen Singh-Miller invites someone to read or show work where she is living and they in turn invite someone to show or read at the opening. For Opening Reading 7, D. Graham Burnett read “Platter of Love” alongside Dani Lessneau's extimité.
