This annual publication from art book in China focuses on Chinese art publishing and the larger landscape for artist book publishing in Greater China. The project aims to engage and document in-depth conversations with outstanding professionals from around the world, interpreting their creative methods and conceptual thoughts. Each issue focuses on art books, artist books, and book creators, with a special emphasis on the self-publishing scene in Greater China. 

In this second issue of P_PAL, the focus shifts towards actively imagining a sense of “collective work and life.” A collection of essays, articles, and interviews offers readers a deep and enriching snapshot of artist book publishing in China and beyond.
