If the 1960s and 1970s were the heyday of artists books, the 2010s (and 1920s) strike us as the heyday of publishing as (artistic) practice. IDEA POLL collected ideas regarding publishing activities and beyond.
IDEA POLL 2020/21 was created through an online query and features about 100 responses from diverse international networks.
Historical Note: In 1976, the periodical Art-Rite already conducted and published an IDEA POLL, marking a seminal moment in the state of affairs in the field of art and publishing.
A collaboration of Miss Read and Conceptual Poetics Day.
Edited by Michalis Pichler, co-edited by Yaiza Camps and Moritz Grünke
