Circumtext

Through varied forms, Circumtext commits to publishing works that exist in the overlap between artistic practice and political necessity. We believe in the book as a tool for transformation, in publishing as a form of resistance, and in the necessity of creating documents that are simultaneously beautiful and incendiary.

Series

Forthcoming

01

Slow Events

“An object is a slow event.”

—Stanley Eveling

A series of books each with a singular focus on material, cultural, political, ecological processes that come together in a specific object.

02

Critical Extracts

A chapbook series to liberate academic work from formal constraints, working with authors to distill dissertations, papers, and theses into potent, portable forms without sacrificing their intellectual rigor.

03

Artist Metagraphs

Expanding within and beyond the one thing that an artist monograph is supposed to do, including process and context in an artist-led design that reflects both inward and outward from creative practice.
