LOCATION was founded in 2010 as an artist-run, independent publisher dedicated to collaborative artist projects. Location books have been acquired by major museum libraries across the United States, including The Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art, SFMOMA, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, and the Walker Art Center.

In 2024, LOCATION-BKS, a new iteration of the project, evolved from producing limited-edition artist books to publishing text-driven, mass-market paperbacks. This shift expands opportunities for our artists, offering broader distribution and a greater audience while maintaining a commitment to innovative ideas that address the issues and aesthetics of our time.
