Anteism Books focuses on special editions exploring diverse artistic and cultural practices: artist monographs, artist books, exhibition catalogues, and other formats. Our history of collaboration is eclectic and wide-ranging, encompassing emerging practitioners in art and publishing along with internationally known artists; local collectives and art centres, as well as important international galleries.

Locally in Montreal, Anteism operates a 4000sq/ft interdisciplinary project space where we host community arts activities, exhibitions, and events with programming which revolves largely around local publication, visual, new media, and performing arts. With a bookbindery studio nearby, we also hosts residencies with artists producing book works.

Since its establishment in 2004, Anteism has nurtured a unique publishing ethos that embraces new developments in print. We are excited by the many opportunities presented by innovative developing technologies, such as the use of augmented reality (AR) or the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on art and art publishing.
