We publish books on contemporary art and culture, as well as exhibition catalogs.
We are developing several publishing lines: the museum speaks, museum cinema, Museum Under Construction, New Histories of Art. We also publish books outside of these series.
We strive to prove that writing about art and artists can be exciting and inspiring even for people who are not involved in the art world on a daily basis. For such readers, we primarily recommend titles from the series mówi muzeum (the museum speaks), developed in cooperation with Karakter Publishing House: biographies (Zofia and Oskar Hansen, Alina Szapocznikow), stories about important and lively phenomena (queer culture, feminist art in Ukraine in the 21st century, Polish critical art of the 1990s).Museum Under Construction and New Histories of Art are books by academics and researchers published in Polish or English, which we address to the international community of art historians.Museum Cinema is a feminist look at film art – "from Dadaism to the post-internet."Publications arising directly from the Museum's program—exhibitions, the WARSAW UNDER CONSTRUCTION festival—include the famous Spór o odbudowę Warszawy. Od gruzów do reprywatyzacji, the catalogues Nigdy więcej. Sztuka wobec wojny i faszyzmu w XX i XXI wieku, Podległa. Kobiety i dyskurs narodowy, and the extremely popular album The Dark Arts. Aleksandra Waliszewska and Symbolism.Some of our books are also available in ebook form, and all are widely distributed, including internationally (University of Chicago Press) and in the online M Sklep and brick-and-mortar bookstore.
