We Are Publication t h e H O L D

We Are Publication is an artists’ group which seeks and tests out innovative forms of contemporary art publishing. Originating at Kingston School of Art’s Contemporary Art Research Centre in 2015 the group consists of a fluctuating number of current and past PhD candidates, staff members and invited contributors who are brought together by a shared sense of experimentation and the possibilities inherent in collaborative research.

We Are Publication is a provisional yet persistent working unit. Embracing fragmentation, its configuration remains in flux – unfixed and unfinished. Each of the group’s publishing experiments relays its interactions and exchanges and manifests its shifting dynamics. Outcomes are multi-layered, polyvocal and irreducible inviting divergent takes on established notions of jointly conducted research.

For their exhibition t h e H O L D, We Are Publication will realise a series of interconnected projects expanding on the group’s central preoccupations around cut-up, fragmentation and modes of collective re-composition/assemblage.
