At the beginning of another year, The Proconsul Editions sends you our best wishes for a tremendous 2012.

We underwent a strategic cocooning during the latter half of 2011, and are re-emerging with a number of new editions and goings-on in 2012. We’ll be attending art book fairs in New York, Amsterdam, Paris, and Berlin, and are dipping our ipads into the electronic publishing lake, as well as continuing to produce beautiful small-run print editions.

We're quite excited about my favourite words, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs, a text-oriented conceptual project by New York-based Scottish writer Victoria Miguel. It will launch with performance events in Berlin in March and in New York in April 2012. These will also feature a new composition by Jacob C. Morris, created in response to the content of the book.

Also in the pipeline is a collection of works by the American writer, artist, and philosopher James DiGiovanna . A miscellany of humorous pieces, fiction, and drawings, this will be our first exclusively electronic publication, and will be available in February 2012 in the Apple, Kindle, Nook, and Kobo bookstores. 

To kick off 2012 and in anticipation of James' book, we have released a single, called Plants and Animals. It's a story about consciousness, advertising, chronic pain, a solicitous oak tree, and giving up feelings in order to find love. It's available in all major international ebookstores.

In the summer of 2012, we will be releasing our long-awaited print edition with the splendid Middelburg-based Dutch painter Nanda Runge. This will launch with events in Amsterdam and Zeeland.

We are also in development on a very special new printing of our second edition, (love) your uncle by Amy von Harrington, which will be released in autumn 2012.

ll of these, as well as our wonderful first edition, MIRKASTAN by Mirka Duijn, will be available online and at the art book fairs.
