Pirate Press

Pirate Press is a collaborative publication initiated by Christopher Rivera and Misa Jeffereis. The hybrid zine/artist book functions as a platform for new ideas and creative expression. The team selects art-related professionals working in various media––drawing, photography, poetry/writing, music––to create a focused project, a new commission. Each issue examines a relevant theme in contemporary art or life, inspecting it from a number of different angles. With this series, Pirate Press brings together artists, curators, and thinkers from around the world working in diverse disciplines. Pirate Press's publications have focused on the theme of piracy, the problematics of public monuments, and the history of the Hunter MFA Studio program.
