Clouds is a new publishing imprint involved in the publication of art books in Aotearoa New Zealand.

We are primarily interested in increasing the supply of interesting (beyond PR) artists' books, documents and essays.

Clouds also provides publication production assistance to artists and organisations planning interesting projects and requiring design and sub-editing support.

Julian Dashper
This is not writing

This is not writing brings together for the first time the writings of the great New Zealand artist Julian Dashper (1960-2009). As an artist and writer he was deliberate as nature, and this body of work represents a parallel to his ongoing consideration of painting practice in the aftermath of modernism.

Throughout his career as artist and educator, Dashper wrote, assiduously, in a range of forms as particular as the matters he explored – by no means limited to art – but he always insisted he was an artist not a writer. His writing voice is calmly curious, circumspect, wryly humorous, and , in form, his writing ranged from essays to interviews, meanderings and lists.

This project is supported by Creative New Zealand and is to be co-published with Michael Lett and Sue Crockford Gallery.
