Author Description

"Kiosk, Christoph Keller's famous art publications archive, has been exhibited at 27 institutions and biennials internationally since 2001, including the ICA (London), the Witte de With (Rotterdam), Artists' Space (NY), the Emily Carr Institute (Vancouver), MUDAM (Luxembourg) and biennials such as Manifesta 4, the 25th Graphic Biennial of Ljubljana and the Istanbul Biennial. To date, it contains more than 7,000 publications by approximately 500 independent art publishing projects, from magazines, fanzines, newspapers, journals, audio and video labels to institutional publishing, covering the entire bandwidth of publishing possibilities. On the occasion of the archive's final public presentation at the Kunstbibliothek, Berlin, this overview on independent art publishing activities today surveys the Kiosk project. This catalogue contains documentary illustrations and provides information on the contributing publishing projects." -- Publisher's description.
