Publication Program

F&M Projects’ publication program provides artists with the opportunity to have a book produced on their work. Accepted through a rigorous application process, artists are paired with researchers and writers that explore the artist’s subject matter to create an insightful record of either an installation, series, or multiple years worth of work.

The publication program serves as a resource for artists who need the support of writers to extend the conversation of their work to the public, as well as to create a tangible testimony that surpasses the ephemeral quality of the fleeting exhibition. Publications range in size and print run depending on the artist's history. 

The publications that result are released in conjunction with a corresponding exhibition—turning the traditional exhibition-with-catalogue-as-by-product on its head, focusing instead on the permanence of the publication and presenting an exhibition as a byproduct.
