We’re really pleased to let you know that our very own bestselling title has now reprinted and is back on sale again: You Are Here: Art After the Internet was originally co-published between Cornerhouse and Space, London and is edited by writer/curator Omar Kholief.
Its timely publication in 2014 and its quality contents has proved rather popular over the last 3 years, and we’ve now reprinted three times, due to very popular demand.
It’s had some pretty good reviews along the way:
‘Curator and editor Omar Kholief’s recent book of essays and projects from artists has perfectly captured how artists have engaged with the context of the internet. Demonstrating how far things have come from ravers in their bedroom making DIY music on their desktops.‘ – Francesca Gavin, Visual Arts Editor, Dazed and Confused
‘You Are Here is the best anything I’ve read in ages …and I’m jealous I’m not a contributor. I really loved it. It’s a joy to see new green shoots of cultural tendencies emerging from barren soil.’ – Douglas Coupland, Artist and Author, Generation X
A book of ideas to tear through hungrily and re-read slow.’ – Kate Taylor, Programmer, BFI London Film Festival

In May 2015, Cornerhouse changed its name and moved to a brand new art centre build at Tony Wilson Place, Manchester. Having previously merged with The Library Theatre, we are now known as HOME. However, we actually kept our original name, Cornerhouse Publications – but we too are part of HOME!
Since then, HOME’s publishing output has gone from strength to strength, including the very popular Transactions of Desire; a collection of short stories ‘exploring the fine line between love, loss and desire’, with tales of unrequited love and twisted sexuality. Then there’s the very intriguing Rachel Maclean: Wot u :-) about? – the first major monograph on this Scottish artist/filmmaker, who is representing Scotland at the Venice Biennale right now (until 30 November 2017).
There’s also the amazing sci-fi-themed Incidents of Travel in the Multiverse by filmmakers Al and Al, which was conceived with some of the world’s most groundbreaking scientists, and focuses on three ‘multiverse’ journeys. Not forgetting, too, there’s Fear Eats the Soul, which took the HOME exhibition Imitation of Life: Race and Melodrama as it’s starting point.
We recently attended Offprint! book fair at Tate Modern, London, and HOME’s titles were all eagerly picked up and perused, with all of our copies of self-help-manual-inspired Are you allergic to the 21st century? – the second title in the Transactions of Desire series – being sold out on our stand.
If you keep up to date with our latest news you will also be aware of HOME’s most recent title, Dark Habits, that has just arrived in stock. It has its own special book launch at the Anthony Burgess Foundation in Manchester on 23 June.
Later this year, in October, we will see the release of the next HOME title, the much anticipated Subkultura: Stories of youth and resistance in Russia, 1815-2017 – Artemy Troitsky’s alternative history of modern Russia’s society and culture, which is co-published in partnership with The New Social.
We highly recommend that you click on all the title links (above) to find out more.
…And it does not stop there, because HOME also publishes artist’s films in DVD format under the HOME Artist Film banner – a ‘unique project for the production, distribution, exhibition, training and development of artist film’.
With three titles currently available (Gillian Wearing’s Self Made, Andrew Kötting’s Swandown (2012), and Jamie Shovlin’s Rough Cut), this month (23 June) also sees the general theatre release of Edith Walks: A film by Andrew Kötting. It previews here at HOME on 21st June, and includes a Q&A. The DVD is due out in August, so watch this space.
With other HOME artist films and books in the pipeline, we’re proud to be distributing all these highly engaging HOME ‘products’, and cannot wait to see what else is on their (our!) publishing horizon. Bring it on!
