Publishing as Method

Publishing as Method is an outcome from a survey of small-scale publishing in Asia, initiated by Lim Kyung Yong and Helen Jungyeon Ku to “contextualize and read together the increasingly important publishing practices in contemporary art within historical and regional contexts” (preface). The initiators, who are also the editors of this volume, interviewed more than thirty individuals and groups of publishers, editors, writers, designers, and artists across borders and regions from East Asia to South Asia and the Middle East, investigating why and how they make books, and how they work in solidarity.
