About LADA Publishing

How LADA Publishing Works

LADA’s publishing policy is diverse, spanning partnerships with major publishers on key critical titles; publishing our own books, DVDs and online content; and co-publishing artists’ books, editions DVDs, including works made for the web.

LADA specialises in artist-led publications and editions such as Because of Love: Franko B’s Story and Survival of the Sickest, the art of Martin O’Brien, Tim Etchells’ Heroes & Heroines of Live Art T-Shirts and Marcia Farquhar’s 12 Shooters, Project O’s A Contemporary Struggle and Katherine Araniello’s The Dinner Party Revisted. We collaborate with artists on innovative print & DVD ‘box sets’ that function as artworks, resources and critical tools. These include Joshua Sofaer’s Performance Pack and The Many Headed Monster, Documenting Live, Access All Areas: Live Art and Disability, and M21: From the Medieval to the 21st Century, Leslie Hill and Helen Paris’ The Artist’s Borderpanic Compendium and Sibylle Peters’ PLAYING UP: Live Art for kids and adults.

LADA also partners with major publishers on key critical titles including Out of Now – The Lifeworks of Tehching Hsieh, a co-publication with The MIT Press; Live: Art and Performance with Tate Publishing; Lexicon of Tanjas Ostojić co-published with Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Rijeka, Programme Notes: Case studies for locating experimental theatre and The Live Art Almanac Volume 3 and 4, both co-published with Oberon Books; and Perform, Record, Repeat, Aine Phillip’s Performance Art in Ireland, A History and Manuel Vason’s Double Exposures, all published with Intellect Books.
