If you're in Ōtepoti for Small Press Fest 2024, join curator Jane Wallace for a discussion on how we might be better long-term readers of artist publishing.
Spiralling out from The Physics Room’s own back catalogue, we’ll revisit some of our earliest publications to think through improving our long-term relationship with art publishing. From the South Island Art Projects newsletters (1992–1995) and the provocative LOG Illustrated (1997–2002) years, projects conceived outside the gallery like Reading Walking Writing (2015), to recent exhibition-responsive titles like the forthcoming Ana Iti: I am a salt lake (2024) among others, we ask: how can we be better readers? Can the archive be energetic? Who or what would be supported by more sustained engagement with small press past, present and future?
