Captures Editions is a publishing company created by Valerie Cudel in 2008
Cudel works closely with artists, graphic designers, photoengravers and printers on the creation of two distinct book series:
- The Artist's Book collection
The artist's book is conceived as a creative artwork in itself. The collection aims to reflect the invited artist's initial proposal as closely as possible.
- The Braconnage series
The second series conceives of a debate around a commissioned or collective project. The book may describe the history of the project or explain the nature of a work created by special request. The content and form of the book are ultimately determined by the artist or author.
Captures works closely with the following graphic designers, photoengravers and printers : Jocelyne Fracheboud, Printmodel (Paris), François Coulet / webmaster (Valence), Deckers-Snoeck (Anvers), Les Deux-Ponts (Grenoble).
