PERIMETER is thrilled to continue its programming
initiative, PERIMETER TALKS, in 2018. Taking place approximately
once a month, the series features lectures, panel discussions and more
casual in-conversations with publishers, artists, curators, designers,
writers and editors. The talks explore and address various themes and
issues relating to contemporary photographic, art and design
publishing – helping demystify, challenge and offer insight into
publishing as a medium and a practice.
Our final talk for 2018, _SOFT COPY: IN CONVERSATION_, will see the
founders of New York-based publishing imprint and design studio SOFT
COPY – AMY and BRIAN KANAGAKI – discuss their approaches,
motivations and methods for working with the photographic image. Since
launching the studio in September the duo have published an eponymous
publication, _SOFT COPY 001_, offering a poetical vantage on the
photography of JOSEPHINE LOCHEN, JOHN CIAMILLO, MASSIMO
LEARDINI, OLIVIER KERVERN, JODY ROGAC, ADAM BELLEFEUIL, SARAH
BLAIS, BENNIE JULIAN GAY, MARIUS UHLIG, DREW VICKERS and DANIEL
WEISS. The talk will be followed by a launch.
