Chose commune
Chose Commune is a French publishing house founded in 2014 in Marseille by Cécile Poimbœuf-Koizumi, a French and Japanese co-founder, and it makes artists' books in photography, works on paper and ceramics, with prints and unique objects on the side. Its aim is to discover or rediscover lesser-known international artists, and each book is meant to exist on its own. The house curates, designs, edits and publishes, and it builds the books in close collaboration with the artist, as the result of an encounter and independent research. The shop has special editions and out-of-print titles, and a CLUB subscription, so a book can be followed from an artist's first discovery to a collectible object.
