Alias

Alias publishes texts that it considers valuable references of contemporary art. Creations that have not been translated and disseminated in Spanish; or whose previous editions are discontinued or have never been distributed in Mexico. The publishing house was conceived by Damián Ortega as a platform for the circulation of writings that come from the artists’ handwriting, or that were consigned in interviews or from conferences. Alias’s publications are distinguished by an independent and subjective selection of titles, each of which is fundamental to the learning process of Damián Ortega himself, who understands this project as a vehicle for generating and sharing knowledge based on individual needs and interests. For Alias, the book is a kind of public sculpture that spreads virally, occupying collective and private spaces in an organic and mutant way. The book sculpture.
