Container is a project dedicated to publishing language in novel forms. Often projects take the shape of things that are not what is normally classified as "book-like." Rarely, our objects look like traditional books. It depends.
Container's original run was from 2017 - 2019 under direction of Douglas Luman and Jenni B. Baker. This period of the press took a long rest after Jenni's passing in late 2020 due to complications from glioblastoma, a rare form of brain cancer.
In 2023, Container woke up.
Container's text objects and artist's books can be found in the collections of many institutions. We thank these institutions for their care and curation of our work. These include:
Container is currently not open for submissions. We aim to reopen to new bookwork proposals in May 2023. We will make this announcement via our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts. See below for links to these.
