K. Verlag

K. Verlag is a Berlin-based publishing atelier advancing new forms of the book-as-exhibition. They collaborate internationally with artists, authors, and institutions to develop publications whose conceptual rigor and experimental design open radical aesthetic and discursive spaces. Their synthetic editorial-design process insists on the mutuality of content and form, allowing to concurrently rethink and reshape contemporary political, ecological, and theoretical ambitions and expectations. 

In May 2020, K. Verlag was named a recipient of the prestigious Deutscher Verlagspreis, which is awarded annually to honor outstanding independent publishers by the Federal Ministry of Culture. K. also received a special award on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the Kurt Wolff Stiftung for independent publishers. Since its founding, 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 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.
