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.
