About K. Verlag

K. Verlag is a Berlin-based publishing atelier advancing new forms of the book-as-exhibition. We collaborate internationally with artists, authors, and institutions to develop publications whose conceptual rigor and experimental design open radical aesthetic and discursive interventions. Our synthetic editorial-design process insists on the mutuality of content and form, allowing us to concurrently rethink and reshape contemporary political, ecological, and theoretical ambitions and expectations from the perspective of art and printed matter. In 2022, we launched a new series of artist monographs, Processing Process, as our first serial sextet, the intercalations: paginated exhibition series—commissioned by the Haus der Kulturen der Welt as part of Das Anthropozän Projekt—came to a close with the release of its final volume: intercalations 6 – These Birds of Temptation. With the close of 2024, we celebrate the inauguration of yet another publication series, the Pensées soignées, featuring works-in-translation dedicated to relaying how intellectuals and activists in the non-Anglophone world are thinking about care and caring about thought. 

In July 2023, K. Verlag was named a recipient of the prestigious Deutscher Verlagspreis (previously in 2020), which is awarded annually to honor outstanding small and independent publishers by the Federal Ministry of Culture.

Over the last decade, K. Verlag has developed a series of publications that explore issues at the intersections of the current planetary crisis; together with their authors we see these endeavors as a way to build a more vibrant, feminist, and ecologically-responsible world. 

K. Verlag was initially co-founded in 2011 by Dr. Anna-Sophie Springer and Charles Stankievech. Since 2015, Anna-Sophie has been the sole operator, director, and manager of K. Verlag from her studio in Berlin-Lichtenberg and the publishing atelier does not hold any subsidiaries or offices in other locations.
