Index at The Book Society

Please join us at The Book Society for the Seoul presentation of e-flux Index, a new print periodical by e-flux. The evening will include a discussion with Anton Vidokle, Hallie Ayres, and Lukas Brasiskis of e-flux, introduced by Lim Kyung Yong. Registration is required.

e-flux Index is a print journal that surveys the breadth of contemporary culture through writings on art, theory, architecture, film, criticism, and art education. Published bimonthly, it interweaves long-form essays from e-flux Journal and Architecture, exhibition and book reviews from e-flux Criticism, discussions and contributions from both established and emerging voices in e-flux Education, and texts that expand the register of critical inquiry from e-flux Notes, compiling all the diverse and fascinating content commissioned by e-flux under one cover.

e-flux began its online publishing 25 years ago, in an era largely dominated by a handful of print magazines. Since then, the publishing landscape has undergone a profound shift to a digital realm, which provides unprecedented access at the expense of ever-diminishing attention and memory. Returning to a print periodical format, e-flux Index sets out to catalog and care for art’s historical and intellectual evolution in our own time—and for the future.

The Book Society is a collective publishing project based in Seoul. Since 2010, The Book Society has published and edited books under the imprint of mediabus. The bookshop distributes books related to contemporary art and design, while the collective also curates numerous exhibitions and projects.

e-flux Index is available to purchase online and in select bookstores worldwide. It is distributed by Art Metropole (Canada), Asterism Books (USA), Antenne Books (UK, Europe), Les presses du réel (Europe), The Book Society (East Asia), and Walter Koenig Buchandhlung (Germany, Austria). Annual subscriptions to e-flux Index are available for both institutions and individual readers.

We look forward to meeting in Seoul!
