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

    AND is a collaborative publishing activity, based in London. Initiated at Byam Shaw School of Art in 2009, it seeks to develop infrastructures of publishing starting from three questions: Why publish, how and for whom?

    AND's 10-year long practice forms the basis and wider framework for all four projects submitted for the PhD – described and discussed in detail in the chapters →Summary of projects and submitted material and →Reflection, theorisation of projects.

    Observing that the existing institutional infrastructures keep replicating the exclusionary mechanisms and hierarchies dominating the university, AND started, without official 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 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.[3] 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.[4]

    The range of publications AND produces, helps to produce or distribute can be seen here. The activities and entanglements of AND can be seen on AND's webpage. AND Publishing's practice has been described in a range of recent texts and interviews:→ Micropolitics of Publishing (video interview), → One publishes to find comrades (book chapter), →UND statt ODER, die Anatomie von UND (printed interview).

    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. See also Gerald Raunig’s description of transversal activist practice: as ‘There is no longer any artificially produced subject of articulation; it becomes clear that every name, every linkage, every label has always already been collective and must be newly constructed over and over again. In particular, to the same extent to which transversal collectives are only to be understood as polyvocal groups, transversality is linked with a critique of representation, with a refusal to speak for others, in the name of others, with abandoning identity, with a loss of a unified face, with the subversion of the social pressure to produce faces.’ Gerald Raunig, ‘Transversal Multitudes’, Transversal 9 (2002), http://eipcp.net/transversal/0303/raunig/en
