Since 2013 SPRINT is a non–profit artist–led platform devoted to investigate – in a sustainable environment and inclusive gaze – the multiple ways in which contents, supports and languages emerge in independent and artist publishing, from zines to books to magazine and viceversa to warp formats with attitude. SPRINT is composed by an annual Art Book Fair & Public Program, a scattered series of Warm-Up episodes, The Riso Club Printing Lab (soon) and a growing Archive.
Among the Swiss publishers and labels: Boabooks, bodiless editions, ciao press, Daniel Drabek, Davide Morgillo, Edition Fink, Evo, Every editions, Fair Enough, Fuzao Studio, GAFFA, Tria Publishing Platform.
