Print Is (Half) Alive + (Almost) Well | A peak behind the fabulous Paradigm Publishing
We’re all hoping and praying for a healthy future of print. It seems like it’s pulse is weak and it’s only true nerds like us that truly care for its survival. It’s publishing houses like Paradigm that truly make it worth saving however. MC took a peak behind the scenes.
Sample:
Paradigm’s website has more books “coming soon” than currently in print. One of their biggest upcoming titles, Ninety-Six Dreams, Two Thousand Memories, is an in-depth visual study of Jason Dill. Comprised of photographs from skateboard photographer Greg Hunt, the release is 208 4-color offset printed pages of photographs with support from Dill himself. This takes Paradigm straight back into the territory that Rentschler’s LOVE book occupied but, by releasing titles in between, places the project firmly in a whole new context. Small volumes such as Mitchell W Feldstein’s Even Change, a dense poetry offering, have opened up space within Paradigm’s catalogue to make Ninety-Six Dreams, Two Thousand Memories its own thoughtful release rather than a continuation of the photo book format.
