- Leading publications in the arts tend to focus exclusively on a particular discipline: Afterall-art; The Grey Room–architecture; Icon -design. With EP, the intention was to change that by working across all three disciplines. The EP book series is part of Coles’ ongoing research into the relationships between creative disciplines which began in 2005 with a focus on the interdisciplinary dialogue between art and design (explored in the books ‘DesignArt’, Tate Publishing, 2005, and ‘Design and Art’, MIT Press, 2007) and in 2012 developed into an analysis of the transdisciplinary dialogue between art, design and architecture with the book ‘The Transdisciplinary Studio’ (Sternberg Press, 2012). In order to achieve its aims, the editorial process begins with identifying a suitable partner. For EP. Vol. 2 ‘Design Fiction’ this was the Jan Van Eyck Academy, Maastricht. To arrive at the volume’s theme of design fiction, first a non-public seminar was held with researchers and staff from the Jan Van Eyck Academy. A joint successful £10k funding bid to the Creative Industries Fund (Netherlands) was made with the Jan Van Eyck Academy to support the travel costs associated with both our ongoing editorial meetings and then the commissioning of each chapter. Reviews of each volume of EP have broadened its readership, with over 10,000 copies of having been sold across Europe, the Americas and Asia by Sternberg Press’ distributor MIT Press. EP1 received strong reviews from the New York Times, the Journal of Design History and the Design abilities blog. EP2 is followed by EP3, currenting being prepared for publication.
