This is a unique three-day exploration of contemporary art and research publishing.
Through public talks, a major book launch, exhibition, performance and symposium, there is a unique opportunity to encounter publishing as a complex ecology of practices. Featuring presentations from ongoing research into, and through, publishing processes, the programme opens multiple views onto contemporary art and research through the question of publication.
What are the tasks of research publishing beyond mere dissemination? What does it mean to think of publishing as a scene of relation, invention, inquiry, and coproduction? What is at stake in publishing when it is understood as an event of knowledge and art making in its own right? What are the strange ecologies of idea, image, language and doing/being that emerge at the scene of publishing? What is the contemporary role of printed matter? How might the editorial be understood as operative with reference to the curatorial?
Ecologies of Art Publishing, has been organised in the context of the launch of the new book from L’Internationale Online: Climate: Our Right to Breathe.
