About

Free Press is a project of artist Sal Randolph.

It builds on several earlier projects by the artist -- in particular, Free Words, where 3000 copies of a free book were infiltrated onto the shelves of bookstores and libraries by a worldwide network of volunteers, Opsound, a gift economy of music, and Free Biennial/Free Manifesta, in which the form of an art biennale was appropriated and re-imagined to create large open-participation exhibitions of free art in the public spaces of New York and Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

In her work, Randolph explores the effects of gifts and gift-economies in the creation of social architectures.

Site translations were done by Claes Josefsson (Swedish) and Deer Fang (Chinese).

Special thanks to Röda Sten, Meira Djulsuma Ahmemulic, Glowlab, Seth Pybas, and all the Free Press participants.
