AS A PUBLISHER, OUTER SPACE PRESS ( Claudio Pogo and Magdalena Wysocka) STANDS EXACTLY AT THE INTERSECTION OF PHOTOBOOK, ZINE, AND ARTIST’S BOOK — A PRACTICE WE TREASURE IN OUR ARTIST BOOKS AND MAGAZINES SECTIONS. FEATURING THEIR WORKS ON DARWIN HONORS THE SPIRIT OF BOOKISH AUTONOMY, MATERIAL RISK, AND THE POETIC DISRUPTIONS OF PRINTED MATTER
Claudio Pogo meticulously collected over 500 original BILD Zeitung front pages, beginning with the inaugural issue from 1952. He then erased all text, headlines, captions, and logos—leaving behind only the photographs and graphic elements. What remains is a haunting, surreal sequence of unspoken spectacles—mass media imagery stripped of its weapons.
THEIR WORK ARISES FROM ARCHIVAL IMPULSES: COLLECTING FOUND BOOKS, PHOTOGRAPHIC EPHEMERA, FRAGMENTS OF IMAGE HISTORIES — THEN RECONTEXTUALIZING THEM INTO NEW VISUAL NARRATIVES. OUTERSPACE PRESS THIS IS NOT PUBLISHING AS DISSEMINATION, BUT PUBLISHING AS ARTWORK. THOUGH THEIR SHOP IS A SPACE FOR THEIR OWN TITLES, OUTER SPACE PRESS ALSO COLLABORATES WITH ARTISTS SEEKING TO BRIDGE PHOTOGRAPHY, PRINT EXPERIMENT, AND BOOK ARTS. OUTERSPACE PRESS
CLAUDIO POGO AND MAGDA WYSOCKA FOUNDED OUTER SPACE PRESS IN 2016 OUT OF A DREAM OF FULL CREATIVE AUTONOMY. COMBINING PHOTOGRAPHY, PRINTMAKING, PUBLISHING, AND CURATORIAL IMPULSE, THEY RECLAIM THE BOOK AS AN ARTIST OBJECT — DESIGNING, PROTOTYPING, AND PRODUCING IN‑HOUSE EVERY EDITION.
THEIR EDITIONS ARE OFTEN LIMITED, TACTILE, AND DEEPLY WOVEN WITH TEXTURE, GESTURE, AND MEMORY.
