Swill Children is pleased to be announcing 3 physical releases today as well as the launch of a new internet project: PAPERWEIGHT.

A little about PAPERWEIGHT:

Throughout the past decade, the internet has presented us with an array of alternative information disseminators. The influx of these ubiquitous platforms has resulted in the replacement of prior methods of media distribution, a good deal of which dealt with ink on paper. Though these time tested forms, such as books, newspapers, and other printed ephemera are increasingly less commercially prevalent, there is yet an actively growing community of artists working in these seemingly antiquated realms of ink on paper.

PAPERWEIGHT is a blog attempting to highlight such valiant efforts using the very means of their obsolescence.

PAPERWEIGHT features a stunning list of contributors:

Milano Chow
Jesse Hlebo
Chelsea Hodson
Anne Lai
Megan Plunkett
Veronica Rafael
Diwa Tamrong
Grant Willing

Each month will feature a different guest contributor, the first being the lovely Rachael Morrison. Rachael works at the Museum of Modern Art Library in New York where she recently curated an exhibition on the work of Bern Porter. She is also an artist whose work has been exhibited internationally and she is co-editor of the magazine f.ART.

Without further ado, images and information on the new releases after the jump.
