WE ARE PUBLICATION - WE.ARE.CUT.UP.
14th May 2019 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm (UK time)
We Are Publication is a research group based at Kingston School of Art’s Contemporary Art Research Centre which seeks to test out innovative forms of contemporary art publishing. We Are Publication’s latest project, We.Are. Cut.Up.emanates from the group’s recent manifesto and expands on central preoccupations around cut-up, fragmentation and modes of collective re-composition and re-assemblage. We.Are.Cut.Up. consists of a soundscape and a series of posters specifically conceived for the Dekalb Gallery at Pratt Institute, New York, February 2019.
We Are Publication have produced speculative publications in the form of a launch event (ICA, London, 2015), a 5-minute video (Stanley Picker Gallery, 2015), the 60-minute radio broadcast Diagram of an Hour (Resonance FM, 2016) and a vinyl record documenting the broadcast (Curved Pressing, 2017). Between 2017 and 2018 We Are Publication produced Notes on a Carpet, a project that took the shape of a handmade rug. In 2018 the carpet was presented alongside a series of performances at Five Years and Black Tower Projects, London, Focal Point Gallery’s Unit 21, Southend-on-Sea and the London Art Book Fair, Whitechapel Gallery.
