Reading the River documents the water-related art projects of Basia Irland and picks up where Water Library left off in 2007. The book was produced in conjunction with a 2015-2016 retrospective exhibition in the Netherlands and includes an extended interview with the exhibition curator, Roel Arkensteijn, which focuses on the early years of Irland’s career.
