Publication Studio: Uncertain Times and Alternative Economies (The Secret Ingredient – 03/12/14)

The Secret Ingredient

Making books fresh like pour-over coffee? Publication Studio (www.publicationstudio.biz) is a network of 13 tiny publishing houses in which books are made one at a time by hand, envisioning the productive work of bookbinding to be more like a bakery or coffee shop than a factory. Hear PS co-founder (with Patricia No) Matthew Stadler talk about the art of economies, multi-scalar assemblages, plus N.E. Thing Co., and Anne Focke as precedents for PS. Think through the nature of hegemony with Jean Beaudrillard, the shared imagination a book creates over time and space, Fuse Magazine and the Ladies Invitational Deadbeat Society, and learn about how you can visit Guelph’s very own Publication Studio at Silence (46 Essex St.), on any given Saturday afternoon. Baudrillard, Jean. The Agony of Power. Los Angeles, CA: Semiotext(e), 2010. (December 3, 2015)
