Here's some new posters we printed, and will soon be polluting your visual landscape. We wanted to make some public service announcements. In tiny letters at the bottom, they say "Container Corps is an arts press and gallery. Accepting submissions for artists books, literature, and other projects" so they're also a call for submissions.
We believe publication should be more accessible to up-and-coming artists and authors working in the avant garde edges of culture. By operating as a press in the medieval sense (one shop housing editorial, design, printing and binding), we are able to avoid the inefficiencies of corporate publishing and produce truly radical publications. Anyone and everyone interested in arts publications is welcome to submit drawings, paintings, portfolios, stories, photographs, designs, and other project ideas.
Your publishing company sounds refreshingly intimate and personal-based rather than carelessly widespread and diluting for work that would be published through you. I am both an artist and a story-writer, as of yet unpublished. Do your services include the prospect of having one of my own personal stories or book of artwork published in a small amount for local distribution? Do you choose projects, and then try to find people to carry them out?
