Sputnik

Sputnik Editions is an independent publisher of art publications based in Bratislava, Slovakia. The though behind Sputnik Editions lies in the idea that an art project—an action or a perception of the world—is in need of an embodiment in the form of a book, which acts as a solid that one can physically touch and grasp the work. A book that is a lucid, lasting object, which can be the inception of an art piece, as well as an object placed within an exhibition space, or an object arising as a result of an exhibition. The publications present the evolution of ideas, which develop within the realms of the amt_project and artists connected with the gallery.
