LAb[au] Editions presents art in the form of publications. Many recent projects have generated libraries, archives, and cabinets whose conceptual frameworks rely on reproduction, iteration, seriality, and multiplication.

Many of these works emerge from extensive processes of research and development. These processes often generate extensive series of results that require reproducible material forms—digital prints, photocopies, colour samples, index cards, folders, or other formats. In these formats, the underlying concepts find precise material expression. For some, the edition constitutes the very form through which the work exists.

 

LAb[au] Editions creates a dedicated field in which these works can be produced under viable conditions and circulated directly at accessible prices.

Through an autonomous structure of publication and distribution, LAb[au] Editions preserves the integrity of each work while remaining complementary to our collaborations with galleries.

 

The value of these artist books, monographs, multiples, and limited or open editions lies in their distinct material and conceptual qualities, in the knowledge and experience they make accessible, and in the engagement with our work and research that they enable.

Made to circulate—to be read, handled, collected, and shared.

  • Description

    Perforated Language 01

    Close to Language, Close to Poetry

    Produced unintentionally through a precise industrial protocol, Perforated Language 01 presents an irregular field of perforations as an accidental notation. Evoking Braille, punched tape, musical notation and maps of the stars, it hovers between code and constellation—apparently legible, yet withholding any determinate message.

    The work originates from a residual plate produced during the fabrication of stencils for circuit boards. Removed from its technical function, it becomes a found form of concrete poetry.
