    AND Publishing
    (2009 - ongoing) with Rosalie Schweiker and multiple collaborators

    AND is a collaborative publishing activity, based in London. Initiated in 2009, it seeks to develop infrastructures of publishing starting from three questions: Why publish, how and for whom? Observing that the existing institutional infrastructures keep replicating the exclusionary mechanisms and hierarchies dominating the university, AND started, without mandate [1], at Byam Shaw School of Art in London as an indy-university press, publishing works of students, staff and alumni in an equitable and non-hierarchical manner.[2] Next to exploring the immediacy and social possibilities of print on demand and new modes of distribution, AND also explores the social agency of cultural piracy. AND is also invested in feminist radical pedagogy, builds informal support structures by sharing a studio, providing resources and advice, as well as access to skills, means of production and distribution. AND re-distributes budgets, commissions work, and (re-)publishes material which is difficult to find. The long list of equal "ands" on the website indicates, that we are less concerned with developing a focused brand or a unified face. In contrast to the conjunction "or", "and" is accumulative. It describes our practice as building a network of mutual alliances. We work with individuals, collectives, and institutions. We run publishing classes, give workshops, and talks. We teach at University and run education programmes with art institutions. The members of AND are part of a diverse network of critical, feminist, de-colonial publishing activities and campaigns.[3]
    The 10-year activities and entanglements of AND are too many and too messy to list them here in the kappa, but visiting the website gives you a good insight into our practice. The range of publications we produce, help to produce or distribute can be seen here.

    In a range of texts and interviews AND Publishing's practice has been described:

    Eva Weinmayr–One publishes to find comrades.jpg
    in Publishing Manifestos, Michalis Pichler(ed.), Cambridge MA: The MIT Press, 2018. The text was originally published in The Visual Event, an education in appearances, Oliver Klimpel (ed.), Leipzig, Spector Books, 2014.
    The text investigates feminist practices of publishing as a way to initiate a social process or build a social space wherein meaning is generated via the co-created publications. Here printed publications, posters or zines are not necessarily an end product trying to convince someone of something, but rather a method of 'working towards establishing conditions for the co-production of meaning'.[4]
    'Und statt Oder – Die Anatomie von UND' in "Publish! Publizieren als künstlerische Praxis", Kunstforum International 256 (2018) Annette Gilbert in conversation with Rosalie Schweiker and Eva Weinmayr, AND Publishing, London

    Published interview: 'UND STATT ODER – die Anatomie von UND' (AND not OR, the Anatomy of AND) in Publish! Publizieren als künstlerische Praxis, Kunstforum International, issue 256, September 2018.
    Annette Gilbert in conversation with Rosalie Schweiker and Eva Weinmayr (AND Publishing, London) about AND's collective feminist practice. The interview, itself being published in an anthology about contemporary artists' publishing, is an interesting case of intellectual streamlining and simplification of messy and multilayered practices. The crucial point is where to draw the fine line between promotion or advertising and the "telling about".


    'Radical publishing practices ask for radical librarianship', presentation script and shared bibliography on Twitter for (im)print: Artists as Publishers as Artists, KHM Academy of Media Arts, Cologne, 6 July 2018
    at Artists as Publishers as Artists, KHM University of Media Arts Cologne, 6 July 2018.

    This presentation at the panel "Publishing to Mobilize Knowledge" takes an experimental approach to a conference presentation. Using a twitter thread to publish the script in real-time in order to share my bibliographies, such as references, links to images, websites and texts for the audience to revisit – the presentation explores the infrastructures and politics of radical, collaborative, intersectional feminist publishing and its dissemination. With the participation of Clara Balaguer, Eva Weinmayr, Francesca Valentini, Gijs de Heij, Heike Ander, Lanfranco Aceti, Tamara Lorenz, (Tim), Tom Lingnau, and Yvette Mutumba. Organised by Agustina Andreoletti, Lilian Haberer, Karin Lingnau, Konstantin Butz. Supported by Birgit Trogemann. See programme Read the presentation

    Notes

    1. Support included colleagues' offer to share office and equipment, including publishing classes in their courses inviting AND to develop publishing projects with students, facilitating work-based learning internships with AND. The management quickly realised the critical and socially generative potential of our activity and provided small funds and semi-official support
    2. AND was co-founded by Lynn Harris and Eva Weinmayr. Andrea Francke worked temporarily with AND. Today it is run by Rosalie Schweiker and Eva Weinmayr.
    3. OOMK, X Marks the Bökship, Keep it Complex, Migrants in Culture
    4. Stevphen Shukaitis, 'Toward an Insurrection of the Published? Ten Thoughts on Ticks & Comrades', eicp transversal, June 2014 [1]
