This framework has become widespread in the field of contemporary art and gallery artists who offer important perspectives on these issues – are gaining increasing attention from international audiences and institutions.

Gallery Publishing Initiative – Edition Société

Société also tests the limitations of what a gallery can produce and with whom. The gallery’s publishing initiative – Edition Société, in collaboration with writer and editor John Beeson, has collaborated and established with established graphic designers on the books of many acclaimed artists, including Kaspar Müller’s “Schätze der Erinnerung”, which won The Most Beautiful Swiss Books in 2016 and “The Great Pam”, by Trishe Baga, whose review you could read in the April 2015 issue of Artforum.

In addition, Société is very active in the music industry, producing 12 LPs by several contemporary musicians under the musical direction of Nico Xedro, and presented Cory Arcangels’ “Dances For The Electric Piano” at the Berlin Philharmonic.
