Art-iculate Publishing

CCA Publishing

Initiative

The Centre for Contemporary, Lagos (www.ccalagos.org) through a new publishing initiative is expanding the remit of Art-iculate. The objective is to develop three different types of publications.

The first will involve in-depth monographic publications on Modern Nigerian artists whose important contributions to Nigerian and Africa Art for over half a century will form an important addition to the Histories of Art across the continent.

The second will focus on pocket size books developed featuring emerging/midcareer artists and the final segment will be survey publications on artists and the art sector in Nigeria and other African countries highlighting new artists, trends as well as focusing on a specific medium or even a theme.

The aim of the publishing initiative responds to the vacuum in platforms for critical, artistic and curatorial activities on the printed page. CCA, Lagos will be launching in October 2014 the first two segments of the publishing intiative on the work of Nigerian artists; photographer J.D. ‘Okhai Ojeikere and sound and video artist Emeka Ogboh.
