Come find us at Miss Read this weekend, featuring our recently published titles along with a selection of titles from publisher friends. 

The seventeenth edition of MISS READ introduces a special focus on Ecological Publishing and Ecologies of Publishing. Globalization has led to the widespread adoption of Western societal models, extractivism, and platform industries, including the inherent unsustainability of publishing economies. The environmental movements, which have been gaining strength in recent decades, seek not only to counter the threat of ecological collapse, but also to address issues within the arts, economics, and politics.
Sustainability and subsistence—the place of humans within nature—are pressing issues worldwide.

For the occasion we are glad to bring along some pairs and have their titles resold over the weekend.
We are glad to present: Bulletin B, Zitto Edition, Crymimi cry, HOOT, DMovie Intl. & Buzzer Reeves. 

•

Bulletin B is a periodical edited by Maria Jooyoung and published by Giselle’s Books, taking its name from a semantic play on translation, borrowing from the phonetic of the word 비형식 in Korean — an inverted allusion to an ʻunofficial newsletter.’ In this spirit, the publication is a B-side of sorts, an underbelly of words and ideas. An irregular gathering of contemporary and archival findings spanning poetry and prose, cultural research, and musings from Korea and its diaspora.

Zitto Editions is a private initiative based in Berlin and Los Angeles that offers works of art for humanitarian causes. 100% of proceeds are donated.  Zitto was born to create a platform for solidarity and exchange, all artworks featured on this website have been generously offered by the artists.

cry mimi cry is a non-profit publishing house founded in 2022 by Traduttore, traditore. cry mimi cry is small and independent. It publishes and distributes artists’ books, anthologies, collections and works of fiction without recurrence of form or format and is committed to the quality of printing, paper and binding. cry mimi cry is a pun taking root in the mimicry, corresponding in French to the child’s game of imitation (from the essay «Des jeux et des hommes» by Roger Caillois). The adaptive strategy operated on the edited object allows, as the mask, to emphasize the expression of the embodied subject, in its entirety.

•

HOOT is a printed conversation, a transcribed dialogue with a worker in the field of art, a collective around the notion of work as an activity, method, environment, symbol and necessity. Each issue will be transcribed according to the language used and shared in the conversation.

Artist Daragh Reeves established Buzzer Reeves in 2022 in his apartment in Kreutzberg, Berlin with an eclectic group show titled ‘Sailors of the Land’. His program aims to exhibit work in direct collaboration with aritsts and curators from his personal network, bringing together people who would not normally meet or show in the same space and promoting international exchange. The program theoretically has no fixed address and exhibtions can happen in any venue where the entrance buzzer reads ‘reeves’.
