Brion Gysin

Temple Press Limited was established in 1988. The intentions behind Temple Press were twofold:

to publish creative texts with minimal editorial or commercial interference in the process of artistic structuring of the emergent work. The books were all produced in high quality editions;

to disseminate low-cost booklets with hard-to-find information focusing on creativity, transmediation and cultural exploration.

The books featured on this site are a representation. Generally they fall in the category of transmediating texts; that is, each featured book was imbued with a relational intentionality either in its content or mode of production. The final book featured, Flickers of the dreamachine, was one I was commissioned to produce by Codex Books. It fits in closely with the general principles of what our own publishing was seeking to achieve.

The table below gives some basic information. The book covers are links to extracts and images. The final link points out to the wider web.

Temple Press Limited ceased all activities in 1996. The books are all out of print.
