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

    POSSIBLES | PROBABLES comprises 160 visual poems originally created as urban poetry for a solo exhibition. Distributed as posters throughout the city, they extended the exhibition into public space through a conceptual and poetic exploration of the possible and the probable.

     

    The poems have since developed into an autonomous body of work, appearing in urban poster campaigns, poetry readings and a forthcoming artist book. Each poem follows a specific prompt, printed at the bottom of the page. The individually framed sheets isolate one of these linguistic possibilities, bringing the possible and the probable within reach.
