What role will self-publishing play in the 21st century? Will the new kind of book printing develop to become an alternative to electronic communication? How is it possible to distinguish subversive gestures and New Biedermeier? Arab

Box set including Queer Zines Vol. 1 (second edition) & Vol. 2

Books not only describe their own contents but also the eras in which they were created. Conceived as a color inventory, this publication gathers a selection of titles that I have dealt with, exhibited, and produced since the early 2000s. Many of these books

Der erste Teil dieses polemischen Essays bietet eine anekdotische Einführung in die bislang eher unbekannte Geschichte des Selbstverlegens – einer Praxis, die auch von höchst angesehenen Autoren des westlichen Literaturkanons betrieben wurde…

End of Collecting! Mit dieser Situation ist irgendwann jeder Sammler, jeder Künstler konfrontiert. Es reift die Erkenntnis, dass jetzt langsam »Schluss« ist, dass die Anzahl der erworbenen resp. erschaffenen Kunstgüter nicht mehr weiter anwachsen sollen.

The Atlas of Anomalous AI is a compelling and surprising map of our complex relationship to intelligence, from ancient to emerging systems of knowledge. A wildly associative constellation of ideas, stories, artworks and historical materials, the Atlas draws on art historian Aby Warburg’s Mnemosyne Atlas — an image map of the “afterlife of antiquity” — to approach the defining concepts of AI from an imaginative, artistic and revitalising perspective.

The potential and the versatility of publishing open it to a diversity of practices and approaches in the arts, but as an eminently social form of art, a collective or micro-collective work with shared responsibilities, it is also a never-ending process of “crafting a variegated approach to how you create, publish, distribute, and build a social ecosystem around your efforts”, of trying to “build up and strengthen the community around these printed forms” (Temporary Services).

Ein reich illustriertes Buch über Bücher, die aus der Reihe fallen und sich dem internationalen System des Warenaustauschs entziehen.Welche Rolle wird das Selbstverlegen im 21. Jahrhundert spielen? Kann der Druck auf Papier eine Alternative zum elektronischen Austausch darstellen? Wie lässt sich zwischen Subversionsgestus und Neuem Biedermeier unterscheiden?

How to Book in Berlin serves as a comprehensive guide to bookmaking and publishing, offering insights we wished we had when we were starting out. It includes information on research methods, funding strategies, production techniques and distribution approaches, all underpinned by the perspectives and advice of experienced publishers. Our ultimate ambition is to alleviate the challenges often associated with the journey of creating artists’ books and to foster meaningful connections within the diverse and vibrant artists’ book communities.

Die Publikation zur Ausstellung PUBLIC LIBRARY zeigt 20 Werke von 22 bildenden Künstlern und Künstlerinnen, die eigens für die Amerika-Gedenkbibliothek in Berlin realisiert wurden.

The Library of Mr. & Mrs. Neutra uses the built environment of Richard and Dione Neutra’s VDL House (1932/1965) as a space for site-specific research into the content and material structure of the modernist architect’s library.

This catalogue is published to accompany the process-based installation "Salon für Kunstbuch" by Bernhard Cella on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the 21er Haus.

In the book the mind is the body Lisa Gutscher journies into the body and presents a fantastic tapestry of stories and visuals. Like a children's science book, the artist reveals before us readers the magic of the body without confining it to machinic partitioning, binary oppositions or theory as such. It is stories, both visual and textual, that are the fuel and destination of this journey:

Hipster Porn nimmt Butts stilbildende Originalität in den Blick. Über die Perspektiven von Queer Theory, Masculinity Studies, Medienwissenschaften und Affekt Theorie wird die Welt des Fanzines lesbar, wie umgekehrt auch deren theoretische Positionen durch Butt herausgefordert werden.

Die Anthologie stellt eine Sammlung von kurzen Texten, Konzepten Zeichnungen, Collagen und Fotografien von bildenden Künstlern_innen vor.

Queer Zines, the catalogue, collects the variegated practices of zine makers past and present, from North America and Europe, and lists them alphabetically, starting with Toronto's 88 Chins and ending with the Dean Sameshima zine Young Men at Play.

The fruit of a lengthy research, this book shows for the first time a significant selection of René Heyvaert's mail art. The latter is linked to the Belgian artist’s multiform oeuvre—which retains, given that René Heyvaert (1928–1984) was originally an architect, an overt material and spatial relation to its environment—as well as to his personal life: his gradually deteriorating health, and the loneliness that fed his epistolary vocation.

Handmade is an ecstatic archive of synthetic handmade Artist’s books. Sequenced in no particular order, the project searches for meaning in the future tense through time, text, and touch. Using a combination of images and descriptions, the book chronicles not only a series of material proposals but also a visual discussion between the authors. Constructed entirely from text to AI generated images, the book works with collage at the granular level, speculating on what the form of a book might become when drawn from an impossibly broad archive of digital images.

This book gathers together the presentations made at the International Symposium 'The Territories of Artists' Periodicals'. The symposium was held from 2-4 June 2014, in the Lawton Gallery at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay (organised by Marie Boivent, Université Rennes 2 and Stephen Perkins, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay).

The publication is developed as a reflection on books as archives of touch. Visiting our local public library, the Philipp Schaeffer Bibliothek in Berlin, we checked out a selection of books that caught our attention. Bringing them home, we took photographs of handling and reading the books, which we then printed out and inserted back into the books. Following this, we returned books to the library with these hidden pages added.

Alexey Brodovitch's Ballet published in 1945 is one of the most legendary of photobook masterpieces. While already established as a leading influential art director and graphic designer, Brodovitch turned his photographic talents towards rehearsals and performances of ballet companies visiting New York stages.

A book about extraordinary books that deliberately withdraw from the international book trade; A register containing 1,800 recent publications printed on paper, circulating without an International Standard Book Number (ISBN). The edition is almost sold out, last copies.

You ever read the back of a book and blah blah blah words and more words, and function. Poets depend on the emotional character of words. Manuals depend on the instructiveness of words. Yet words can be pronounced backwards or cut up and given new meaning, they can be looked at for their mathematical value, pondered over how they change in translation or seen as hiding messages within them.

As an independent art publisher, Lugemik has mapped a large part of the Estonian contemporary art and design landscape through numerous collaborations with artists, designers, theorists and cultural institutions, resulting in a variety of printed matter. The exhibition strives to talk about the aspect of translation in Lugemik’s practice, and will also reflect on topics related to book-making, such as graphic design, contemporary methods for art reproduction, and various forms of collaboration.

The Berlin Art Book Fair is celebrating the 10th year of its existence by bringing together 263 exhibitors and with the publishing of an anthology called »Publishing Manifestos«.
