We Are Publication’s latest project, We.Are.Cut.Up. emanates from the group’s recent manifesto and expands on central preoccupations around cut-up, fragmentation and modes of collective re-composition and re-assemblage. We.Are.Cut.Up. consists of a soundscape and a series of posters, both specifically conceived for the Dekalb Gallery at Pratt Institute, New York.

We.Are.Cut.Up’s iteration of We Are Publication comprises contributions by Jonathan Allen, Holly Antrum, Rachel Cattle, Jenna Collins, Ilsa Colsell, Edward Dorrian, Volker Eichelmann, Keira Greene, Bruce Haines, Felicity Hammond, John Hughes, James Irwin, Gareth Jones, Simon Josebury, Marianne Keating, John Lawrence, Bill Leslie, Anna Lucas, Stine Ljungdalh, Katy Macleod, Christian Newby, Alex Pollard, Monica Rivas Velazques, Joey Ryken, Daniel Shanken, Andrea Stokes, Charlotte Warne Thomas, Matt Williams, Andy Tam, and Mandy Ure.

We Are Publication

Kingston’s Contemporary Art Research Centre presents an evening a series of events with publishing as it’s focus on and around publishing.

It’s hubris, hu… bris. We know about the dangers. That you might think it meaningless. That if nothing much happens you will give it up. And that if his magic trick doesn’t quite work you will feel shortchanged. She says people shouldn’t take these things for granted. She says it can exist just as well this way. We insist on serving up the scraps. We insist on second thoughts. Then we can stop and think of the other things – the emperor, the ink, the blindfold. Because it’s not supposed to end properly.
