Artists writing as they work

Texts written by artists and books edited by artists are of major importance to define this area of practice and to frame it within art theory context. Historians tend to have a perspective and a bias point of view. Not trying to dismissing their role. As I wrote in this text, soon to be published at Vague Terrain:

'As collaboration is an important feature of these practices, when the subject is theory, the same feature is apparent: theory may now be developed by individuals as part of a collective or even collectively.'

Publishing online, which follow the 80's photocopied fanzines and artist books, it is quite easy. But there are also other ways, as magazines and development of publishing houses. As practitioners, we are the voice of our own practice's construction of theory and history.
