Punch
PUNCH is an art publishing platform operating in Bucharest, Timisoara and online. In October 2014 PUNCH started as a specialist bookshop focused on theory and contemporary practices in art, architecture, design and related fields, and since 2016 it expanded with its own publishing program, aiming to support outstanding projects and enable their distribution in relevant international contexts. In this sense PUNCH collaborates with an international network of specialist distributors and attends regularly in art book fairs such as Offprint (London), FLAT (Turin), I Never Read (Basel), Miss Read si Friends With Books (Berlin), Printing Plant (Amsterdam), Vienna Art Book Fair etc. PUNCH also collaborates on special projects with organisations and institutions such as The National Dance Center Bucharest, Galeria Posibilă, Minitremu and Solitude Project Cultural Association, curating and sourcing bespoke selections of publications.
