About Us
Limestone Books is an art/design bookshop and publishing platform. We focus on non-western perspectives and underrepresented voices. Founded by a curatorial collective Jhen Chen, Liang-Kai Yu, Emily Shin-Jie Lee, HSIEH I Hsuan, and Chang YuHsin in Maastricht.
We envision ourselves as a bookshop, but not in the traditional profit-driven sense. Instead, we view the economic perspective as a focal point where we can foster radical experimentation within the art publishing sphere. This is particularly pertinent in the contemporary context dominated by digital content.
Rather than seeing publishing as producing books, we strive to harness PUBLISHING as an active force—a means of disseminating information, a strategy for decolonizing the global capitalist model of knowledge production, and a pathway for learning from diverse cultures. While we are selling books, our approach to book selection will be entirely different from that of a commercial bookshop. This is because we perceive the act of designing—publishing—distributing books as integral aspects of our artistic practice.
