Detail of Flux, environment (Taking notes) 2020 by Julie Sass
RSS Press - Really Simple Syndication - is a publishing venture that emerges from contemporary art practices, and like them doesn’t believe in the self-containment of disciplines. Artists and curators range widely in their interests and use of technologies, technologies impinge on every aspect of contemporary life, and as Guattari reminds us there are (at least) three ecologies. We therefore aim to re-imagine the relationship between the arts, ecology and technology as a way to foster critical discourse about the future that almost already is.
We publish things like artistic and curatorial research, works on art and aesthetics, research on technology and the environment, commission new work from artists, theorists and other thinkers, and occasionally also publish literary works via our imprint The Copenhagen Review.
We hope to develop new readerships for printed matter but are also interested in the possibilities offered by digital media. We therefore collaborate on various projects and ‘open access’ publications, printed and digital, with Leeds Arts University, the IT University of Copenhagen, and the University of Oslo’s Center for Environmental Humanities.
We stock a selection of publications from like-minded presses such as Beam Editions, Jap Sam Books and Onomatopee, as well as self-published works through our curated ‘syndication’ model, which aims to support our peers in the arts and publishing.
Our books are printed on FSC certified papers by printing presses located in Denmark. In this way we hope to do our bit to keep CO2 emissions low, in relation to both production and transportation.
We are currently closed to unsolicited submissions due to the number of publications already in production or planned. However, we do invite you to contact us regarding any questions and ideas, or to have already published books considered for syndication - and if you do have an idea for a book or publishing project that you believe is something for us, we will make time to hear your thoughts.
For general questions please write to editor Christopher Sand-Iversen at: csi(a)rssprss.net.
All mailed submissions will not be returned.
