Our
Reading Room
Located in Portland, Oregon, the End Of Summer Reading Room is intended as a living archive of our residency program, as well as an open resource for information on Contemporary Art from Japan
On view are a selection of artist books, zines, exhibition catalogues and other ephemera created by, or featuring past End of Summer artists. Much of the material is self published by the artists, editions, or unavailable outside of Japan.
Additionally, the library contains a collection of titles relating to the subject of Contemporary art from Japan more widely.
