things and occasional press

to_ press 的命名 things and occasional 來自對「事件」與「偶然」的想像:人在政治、科學、藝術與愛情中,因一次次遭遇而改變,逐漸成為獨特的個體。to_ press 也正是在這樣的偶然中誕生,從第一本書 SOME GUEI_ SOME JING 開始。


to_ press is an artist-book publishing and curatorial platform founded in Taipei in 2022. It focuses on interactive, narrative-driven, and experimental artist books and photobooks, while taking part in international art book fairs as a platform for display, sales, and exchange. Its projects have travelled across Taiwan, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, Singapore, Jakarta, and Yogyakarta, introducing more than 30 artist books from Taiwan to international readers.

The platform also provides editorial, book design, and print-production support, working with artists through small-scale collaborations. Through publications, workshops, and exhibitions, to_ press continues to explore the possibilities between publishing, reading, and the presentation of books.

The name things and occasional comes from an interest in events (things) and chance encounters (occasional) . Across politics, science, art, and love, certain events can transform us and gradually shape who we become. to_ press itself began through such a series of encounters, starting with its first publication, SOME GUEI_ SOME JING.
