Participants
- Publication Studio is an experiment in sustainable publication. They print and bind books on demand, creating original work with artists and writers, books that both respond to the conversation of the moment and can endure. Publication Studio is a laboratory for publication in its fullest sense—not just the production of books, but the production of a public. This public, which is more than a market, is created through deliberate acts: the circulation of texts; discussions and gatherings in physical space; and the maintenance of a digital commons. Together these construct a space of conversation, a public space, which beckons a public into being.
