Publishers of Literary, Artistic and Curatorial Research
Really Simple Syndication is SixtyEight Art Institute’s independent publishing arm. Co-founded and edited by the writer and art historian Christopher Sand-Iversen and artist Hugo Hopping. The press aims to re-imagine the relationship between art, theory, and literature as a way of fostering critical discourse – looking to formulate an international voice from the perspective of SixtyEight Art Institute’s physical presence in Copenhagen.
Really Simple Syndication will be launching publications focusing on artistic research as a project or part of an extended practice out of exhibition-making concerns. Not only by emerging artists and curators, but also through their established counterparts. In addition to exploring similar energies this new press is about developing new readerships in this post-social networked world through a syndication model.
Furthermore, RSS as a platform and initiative will be inviting artists, curators, and writers to visualize their research (either as an extended practice of SixtyEight Art Institute’s ongoing research or through new configurations of artistic research) to conduct aesthetic experiments on various publishable formats. We believe in paper, of course, but we are fascinated by new media and emerging technologies that amplify the voice of the voices we seek to champion.
For the reasons above, the press was conceived mainly on the basis of new answers for the increasing demand to theorize, report, and publish developments in art and literature that can continue to transverse disciplines, forms, and modes in the production of knowledge.
