Errant Press

Errant Press is an independent effort to create, print, and distribute books that challenge the traditional form and reading dynamics. It's run by Mexican artists Alan Sobrino (Mexico City, 1986) and Tania Chaidez Ibarra (Culiacan, Mexico, 1991), based in Los Angeles, CA.

Instead of bringing art into the book form, they try to free words from the codex form. Their explorations have led them to intervene traditional reading dynamics, creating books meant to be read collaboratively, adopt conceptual practices, making books intended to be stolen, or challenge the book form by using different objects as containers for their texts.

Aside from their publishing practice, they translate, support, and distribute a selection of Latin American book artists who share their views in an effort to amplify their voices and reach broader audiences.
