Many 26 more things

As part of the meetings on contemporary publishing practices "Now that everyone is publishing, what?", we propose the Hyperpublication workshop "Many 26 more things", led by Ezequiel Soriano.

During an 8-hour working day we will create, layout, edit, publish and print as many versions as we can of Edward Ruscha's iconic photobook Twentysix Gasoline Stations (1963).

Starting from proposals and currents such as fast-publishing, post-digital printing or non-creative writing, we will carry out a performative workshop with the aim of stretching the ideas of authorship, creativity and value within the photobook as far as possible. Using our own material from the archive or appropriated from the internet, we will make dozens of versions of Ruscha's photobook, which we will publish with a print run of 3 copies.

This exercise in copying, appropriation and hyperproduction seeks to experiment with the creation of books from other forms of authorship and creativity that, like memes on the web, prioritises play over work, challenge over expression and quantity over quality.
