  • volumes ist eine Non-Profit-Organisation und ein Kollektiv, das 2013 von Anne-Laure Franchette, Patrizia Mazzei und Gloria Wismer in Zürich gegründet wurde. Mit ihren gemeinsamen Hintergründen in den Bereichen Kunst, Verlagswesen und Mediation entwickelten sie eine Plattform mit dem Fokus, die unterrepräsentierten Praktiken von selbst verlegenden Künstler*innen und Kleinverleger*innen sichtbarer zu machen. Mit Veranstaltungen und Recherchen möchte volumes zu einer Community beitragen, die das Publizieren als ein Instrument für Dialog, Empowerment und künstlerische Forschung nutzt. Mit den «volumes Art Publishing Days», einer Messe für Verleger*innen, waren sie schon an verschiedenen Orten und Institutionen in Zürich zu Gast, unter anderem im Perla Mode, in der Kunsthalle Zürich, dem Helmhaus, der Zentralwäscherei, der Rampe des ehemaligen Löwenbräukunst-Areal und an der Gessnerallee.
