Vincent Tuset-Anrès

Vincent Tuset-Anrès (b. 1975) is an artistic director, curator, graphic designer and editor. Since 2004 he has been artistic director of Fotokino, a non-profit organisation in Marseilles, where he is based. He is also in charge of editorial direction and graphic design for works published by Les Éditions Fotokino. As an independent curator and graphic designer, he regularly collaborates with other organisations, either alone or as part of the Fortuno Busca collective. In 2023 he began a study of the artist’s book in Japan. By studying techniques, aesthetics and thought systems that differ from those that have forged his own experience, he aims to challenge and enrich the foundations of his practice.

Using the artist’s book as a jumping board, Vincent Tuset-Anrès proposes to examine the entire ecosystem of Japanese art publishing. His project sets out to shed light on its procedures and know-how; its technical, aesthetic and conceptual particularities, as well as contemporary practices. By working in Japan, he will be in contact with the subject of his research – artist’s books – as well as with people who work in the art publishing world whose stories and expertise will add to his research. Following this period of fieldwork, he hopes to present his project to a wider public, with the aim of eliciting new models (conceptual, technical, graphic and ecological) for a sector that is currently in transition. In this way, Vincent Tuset-Anrès seeks to showcase the rich tradition of art publishing in Japan, the excellence of its artisans, and the inventiveness and vitality of the contemporary scene. This cross-disciplinary project brings together the visual arts, graphic design and artisanat.
