Collection: Artist Publishers: Half Letter Press / Temporary Services

Half Letter Press is a publishing imprint and online store initiated by Temporary Services, based in Ft. Wayne, IN, and Chicago, and run by Brett Bloom and Marc Fischer. Temporary Services began as an experimental exhibition space in a working-class neighborhood of Chicago before transitioning its focus to publishing as a way of opening art and ideas to new possibilities. Half Letter Press publishes works by Temporary Services and distributes publications by other imprints, including Marc’s project Public Collectors, which is focused on making marginal cultural artifacts more widely accessible. This constellation of independent publishing endeavors is unified by its dedication to supporting people and projects that have had difficulty finding financial and promotional assistance through mainstream commercial channels.
