Publishing as Method (2nd edition)

Exploring art publishing practices today, this book focuses in particular on small-scale publishing in Asia. It attempts to contextualise and compare the region’s increasingly important publishing practices in contemporary art within both historical and regional contexts. The book features a range of interviews and essays contributed by various actors and entities in the field, including publishers, artists, designers, curators, collectives, and distribution spaces. Interviews conducted since 2020 also shed light on the complexities and possibilities of artistic practices in the post-pandemic era. ‘Publishing as a Method’ is researched by the Seoul-based publishing collective mediabus.
