sm books (Robin Waart)
SM Books (Robin Waart) makes publications that will stand and stand up for themselves, with Self-Made as one of the acronym’s readings. Invested in the idea and expression of the book, in publishing and ‘making public’ as an artistic practice, SM’s projects synthesize preexisting, word-based materials such as movie subtitles, book pages, dedications to explore what publishing can do, what a book can be —without nostalgia— as a medium and technology of circulation that has structurally but almost invisibly, rooted itself in our thinking about the world, whether it is through portable paper objects, ‘scrolling’, the Mac ‘book’, web ‘page’ or pocket sized iPhone.
For our first participation to Miss Read, we are bringing our postcard publications and artist books by Robin Waart, Mitchell Thar and Hermann Gabler – announcing our new publication Wood with a puzzle edition to raises funds for the book’s production.
