Gravitron is a publishing and collection project initiated by Nic Wilson focusing on artist’s writing. The project is a growing library of artist’s writing as well as a series of publication projects by artists and curators. Gravitron looks to print and disseminate small-scale publications which fall outside the usual avenues reserved for writing in the visual arts. Particular interests of the project include: ekphrastic interpretations of other artworks, critical connections between artworks and lived experience, non-narrative fiction, non-narrative non-fiction, interactions with historical texts, and academic writing which favours affect over argument.
