 The first collection of paperbacks

Since May 2006, Metronome Press has extended its activities from a publishing house to an Office For First Intentions.Conceived on the model of a halfway house or "maison de passe", it functions as an intermediary space between the private environment of the studio or office and the public site of the museum, gallery, or cinema.The Office For First Intentions proposes a number of initiatives, built by artists, sociologists, film-makers, architects, critics, and curators who aspire to an economy of production outside of the normal institution.
