ABOUT
we are an independent bookshop and
publishing house founded and based in Torino
Paint It Black is an independent bookshop and publishing house founded in Turin in 2022, moving across contemporary publishing and visual arts. By collaborating with artists, curators, and institutions, both local and international, each project becomes an opportunity to expand the imagination, experiment with formats, and foster dialogue between different practices and languages
Paint It Black unfolds in two complementary dimensions: Paint It Black Publishing, which views publishing as a space for artistic research and production, and Paint It Black Bookshop, a bookstore dedicated to the arts and a space open to encounter and exchange.
Its publications range from artist’s books and special editions to fanzines and vinyl records, the result of collaborations with cultural organizations and figures from the contemporary art scene. The bookshop’s program hosts and curates exhibitions, screenings, book launches, lectures, readings, and listening sessions, promoting an open and dynamic vision of publishing.
At the center, always, is the book: as a tool for connection, knowledge, and artistic experimentation.
