AS220 Mission
We, the citizens of Rhode Island, associate ourselves for the purpose of providing a local forum and home for the arts, through the maintenance of residential and work studios, galleries, performance and educational spaces. Exhibitions and performances in the forum will be unjuried, uncensored and open to the general public. Our facilities and services are made available to all artists who need a place to exhibit, perform, or create their original artwork, especially those who cannot obtain space to exhibit or perform from traditional sources because of financial or other limitations.

AS220 at the New York Art Book Fair

Earlier this year the AS220 Project Space was delighted to be invited to participate in the e-flux book coop at Art Basel. The invitation was based on our role as a distributor of e-flux journal, a monthly publication on art, theory, history, and philosophy. The e-flux book coop is making its US debut this weekend at the New York Art Book Fair, featuring over 600 titles on contemporary art, theory, and criticism from over 100 international art centers, artist-run spaces, and independent publishers. Housed in a refurbished aluminum Airstream trailer, this temporary model for more equitable distribution in art publishing will display and sell books on behalf of the cooperative's member institutions. Local titles & printed matter supplied by the AS220 Project Space/Reading Room include:

DIRT PALACE: Life & Death (10 Year Anniversary Zine)

HEADMASTER

The Longest Urinal In the World by Dan Wood

OSPREYS #16 Obscure Finale by Tom Bubul

RAKATANSKY by John Caserta and Lynnette Widder

The book coop trailer will live in the PS1 courtyard throughout the duration of the 2011 New York Art Book Fair, after which it will embark on an international tour of contemporary art venues. The AS220 Project Space looks forward to adding more title to the book coop as it tours world. Stay tuned for more info.
