Covid-19 update: Whilst orders on all other books are delayed. INTERRUPTIONS is shipping normally.
‘A book is an entity, to be reckoned with in its entirety — the most successful books are those which account for the interrelations of conceptual and formal elements, thematic and material concerns.’
Johanna Drucker, A Century of Artist Books, (p.122)
There is no such thing as a ‘normal’ or ‘neutral’ book. Every publication is the result of a multitude of conceptual, visual and material choices, combining to shape a reader’s experience. HVTN’s ‘house style’ is no exception. With our new artist-book imprint, ‘Interruptions’, we aim to open up a space for projects which don’t fit the standard format(s). We want to publish experimental books and poetic artefacts whose forms are inexorably tied to their contents and whose contents are tied to their forms, creating opportunities for poets and language artists to take full creative control.
