Errant Press
Errant Press is an independent effort to conceptualize, print, and distribute books that challenge traditional book forms and reading dynamics. It's run by Mexican artists Alan Sobrino and Tania Chaidez, who are currently based in Los Angeles, California.
Each of our pieces explores different limits of the book. Some of our books are literature printed into objects, exploring the physical limits of books. Other pieces, like Steal Me Press or Errant Passport, include a performative element that demands the reader's participation to be completed, exploring the book's conceptual limits.
