Please join BlackMass Publishing founder Yusuf Hassan in a casual conversation around the Fisher Fine Arts Library’s recent acquisition of twenty BlackMass Publishing titles. 

Yusuf Hassan will engage in a discussion about his publications with the Fisher Fine Arts Library. In this conversation, he will explore the thematic underpinnings and artistic philosophies that inform his work, particularly through the lens of BlackMass Publishing. He will also delve into the architectural aspects of publishing, examining how spatial design, materiality, and the physicality of the book shape the conceptual framework of his projects. The discussion will address how these architectural considerations inform the intersection of form and content in his practice. Additionally, the conversation will highlight the significance of the Fisher Fine Arts Library’s resources in supporting scholarly inquiry, emphasizing how libraries function as critical spaces for cultural exchange and intellectual reflection within contemporary art discourse.
