Bodhana publishes numerous books on each artist we work with, each volume with a different focus. We aim to articulate and expand frames of references towards the concerns embodied in an artist’s work. We publish biographies, analytical essays, aesthetic criticisms, timelines and collections of archival material. In our future books, we are experimenting with poetry, the format of the fictional novel and creative non-fiction as new forms for us to extend the limits of what can be known and imagined.
We see publishing as a process beyond the production of books. It offers a frame and context that enforces a certain gravity and weight to the written word. Being collectors of various kinds of published material, our love for books is not dissimilar from the desire inherent to the relationship between an artist and his or her material.
