Product Description

Publisher: Inventory Press/Ulises, ISBN: 9781941753408, Format: 197 x 260mm, 176pp. 

This book documents a residency at Ulises – a curatorial platform based in Philadelphia – that 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, and endeavouring to develop fresh ways of broaching politics in publishing. 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 organisation 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 Carrión’s 1975 publishing manifesto 'The New Art of Making Books', alongside documentation of the works produced.
