THE INEXISTENT TIMES
Mailorder Catalog for Inexistent Books
Inexistent Books wants to celebrate the invisible in times of hypervisibility, embrace paradox and explore the anti-heroic utopian potential of the anti-medium. We have asked artists for artists’ publications that did not exist before, have been idle, deal with non-existence or simply refuse to exist. The ephemeral bookstore organised by Jan Steinbach first appeared in collaboration with I Never Read at Schaulager in September 2020.
