N S E W: North, South, East, West

posted by Anna Chayasatit January 16, 2014

North, South, East, West (NSEW) is an Oslo-based publisher which was originally founded in New York at the beginning of 2011. Born in Alaska, Jessica Williams set up the publisher with a determined mission to promote great publications, postcards and unique items created by independent and newborn artists.

Despite a rotating cast of collaborators, NSEW only publishes in small editions, focusing on quality rather than quantity and on introducing a wide range of subject matter. During the past three years, NSEW has also participated in many international fairs and events including Tokyo Art Book Fair and Kunstpublikationer Fair in Copenhagen, trying to generate new directions in art and publishing.
