OFFSET PUBLISHING


PRESS

Keeping focus on authorship as a central practice, our publishing values support, platform and encourage formats where artistic intention guides the structure and identity of the book as an art object. 

Through the Offset imprint, bookmaking programs and collaborative formats of engagement, we work with photographers and authors on building books that offer worlds our artists reside in Working in publishing, our efforts look at local resources and practices for sustainable approaches to the book that allow us to grow with the community of artists and skilled professionals who help us birth our books. 

We consider the book as a site of coming together to prompt imaginations of questions, conversations and world building through the collective energy of those involved in bringing the book together.

Artist Dummy Book
Editions: 2024

Black CAT White CAT delves into the less traversed intersections of analogue photography, memory and quantum physics. The crux of this exploration lies in the unique nature and implications of processing found film, concretising an otherwise collectively forgotten time, sparking philosophical questions about the nature of reality.


PUBLISHING CONSULTANCY

At the Offset Workshop, our focus on bookmaking has remained central to help us navigate the possibilities of the book as a means to understand the world we occupy.

Our existence as publishers came from this urgency, to work with the book as a site of companionship and support. Our ethos and publishing practice has been to always offer a space to reflect for the growing community of artists engaged in book making. to look at relationship-building as a publishing practice.

If you are working on a publication and would like to ask for a consult, please select the dates and time from the provided slots available. Each session is for 45 mins, 15 mins for the introductions of the project and the remaining 30 mins for a response/conversation. Long term consults can be discussed during this time if the artist feels it would be fruitful for them.
