K. Verlag is a Berlin-based publishing atelier that is committed to working with the book as a space of exhibition. We collaborate internationally with artists, authors, and institutions to develop publications whose conceptual rigor and experimental design create radical aesthetic and discursive interventions. Our synthetic editorial design process insists on the mutuality of content and form, allowing us to concurrently rethink and reshape contemporary political, ecological, and theoretical ambitions and expectations.
