Recent acts of re-publication are the starting point for this symposium, which brings together artists, writers, curators and publishers for a wide-ranging discussion of subjects such as photography, re-enactment and the literary figure of the Copyist. Contributions will also address the use of the book form and consider publication as a radical gesture in historical and contemporary art.
