Allen will give a presentation, which will be followed by a discussion of its relationship with a variety of contemporary publishing projects, from art journals to edition projects, and zines. Participants include Courtney Dailey, founding member of project MOBILIVRE-BOOKMOBILE project and the Bookmobile collective; Chris Duncan, founder of Land and Sea; Eleanor Hanson, co-founder of The Present Group; Jeff Khonsary, publisher of Fillip magazine, and will be moderated by Gallerist Steven Wolf.
