Do we want to build an audience, or a public? How do we build a public?
Dushko Petrovich will discuss his most recent publications: As Radical, as Mother, as Salad, as Shelter: What Should Art Institutions Do Now? (2018) and The Daily Gentrifier‘s Flyover Flyers for Philadelphia and Columbus. Petrovich will place this work in the context of their respective series at his two imprints, Paper Monument and DME, in order to delineate his overall approach to larger questions in art publishing.
