On the work of three contemporary artists-book publishers who have developed fresh ways of broaching politics in publishing
This book documents Publishing as Practice, a residency at Ulisesa curatorial platform based in Philadelphiathat explores publishing as an incubator for new forms of editorial, curatorial and artistic practice.
Over the course of two years, three publishers activated Ulises as an exhibition space and public programming hub, engaging the public through workshops, discussions and projects. Residents included Hardworking Goodlooking, the publishing arm of Philippines-based, social-practice platform The Office of Culture and Design; Dominica, an imprint run by Martine Syms dedicated to exploring Blackness as a topic, reference, marker and audience in visual culture; and Bidoun, a non-profit organization focused on art and culture from the Middle East and its diasporas.
The book features a preface by David Senior, an essay by Gee Wesley and Ulises Carrións 1975 publishing manifesto The New Art of Making Books, alongside documentation of the works produced.
