If the work is a boat, the artist-interlocutor is a sailor. An interlocutor is someone who speaks between different acts of speech by translating, annotating, mediating, criticizing, interpreting, and extending the contents of the different instances of articulation. The practitioner, or artist, then is not the owner, or possessor of a work of art, she is someone who takes custody of what might have begun within her life, consciousness and body, but is already on its way out into the world.
Raqs Media Collective, ‘How to be an artist by night’, in Art School: Propositions for the 21st Century, ed. by Steven Henry Madoff (Boston: MIT Press, 2009).
An invitation to publishers
Publications are boats on an open-ended voyage. We (artists, writers, designers, publishers, etc) are sailors who steer the boats out into the world. Although we can never tell exactly when, where, and how they hug the shore, we are always faithful. Reaching out to dispersed groups of readers, publications enable exchanges of stories, knowledge, memories and emotions that transcend geographical boundaries.
The inaugural Outland Publishing Fair welcomes Sinophone art publishing practices around the world. Through dialogues, we attempts to redefine "outlandish" as a realm of proactive creation, catalyzing the exposure and development of the diasporic community of creative practitioners.
We have always held a steadfast belief in publictions and publishing. This is a cause worth working for, as creative practice endures at all parts of the world. We are also well aware of how challenging it is to maintain a publishing practice in this day and age. Therefore in London, where a craze in publishing has been witnessed recently, Outland Publishing Fair aspires to serve as a staging post where publications meet and inspire new readers, a stage where emerging creators showcase their work, and a hub where the publishing community convenes, bonds and holds together.
We look forward to seeing you in London this September, and hopefully, this will be the land where new seeds germinate.
Warmest regards,
Outland Publishing Fair

“如果作品是一艘船，那么艺术家—对话者就是水手。对话者是通过翻译、注释、调解、批评、阐释和扩展不同表达内容，从而在各种言语之间言语的人。实践者（即艺术家）不再是艺术作品的所有者或掌控者，而是可能在她的生命、意识和身体中出发，但已经走向世界的东西的监护人。”
Raqs Media Collective, ‘How to be an artist by night’, in Art School: Propositions for the 21st Century, ed. by Steven Henry Madoff (Boston: MIT Press, 2009).
致出版人的一封邀请
出版物是航行中自由的船只，我们（艺术家、作家、设计师、出版人……）是将船只驶向世界的水手，虽无法准确预知它们何时、何地、如何靠岸，但始终坚定。读者是一个离散的群体，而出版物则让故事、知识、记忆、情感跨越地缘的边界。
首届出陆书展欢迎全球范围内的华语艺术出版实践。通过出版实践的对话，出陆书展尝试重新定义“舶来”（outlandish）为主动创造的疆域，并催化离散创作者社群的曝光以及发展。
我们始终保持着对书籍以及出版的初心。这是一项值得为之努力的事业，不论在世界的哪个角落，创作从不停止。我们也深知在当下坚持出版实践的艰辛，因此，在近来出版热潮兴起的伦敦，出陆书展将作为一个出版物与新读者相遇的中转站、新兴创作者展示的舞台、出版社群互动的场所让交流发生。
我们期待与您九月在伦敦相会。见面！或许新的种子将被种下。
