ROMA PUBLICATIONS 1998–2008
AN EDITORIAL PROJECT BY ROGER WILLEMS AND MARK MANDERS.
Roma Publications is an independent editorial project founded in 1998 by Dutch
graphic designer Roger Willems and artist Mark Manders. Based in Amsterdam,
Roma Publications has been expanding in an informal and dynamic way as a platform
for the production of autonomous publications, in close collaboration with a
growing number of artists, designers, curators, writers and poets.
With Roma Publications, Manders and Willems have defined their own territory,
one which fuses art, design and curatorship. Each of the 112 publications to
date has its own rule of appearance with meticulous consideration give to content,
typography, layout, and production.
This exhibition focuses on the convergence of art and design and will assemble
over 100 objects including artist books, newspapers, catalogues, posters, prints,
postcards and audio/visual projections.
