Commerce Mailand

Commerce is a new space in Milan dedicated to the exploration of contemporaneity through the showcase of the outputs of independent publishing and thinking. Serving as a bookshop, a venue for exhibitions and talks, a concept store, it is an extremely fluid space; it also proposes itself as publishing house concentrating on editorial design and thought-provoking contents and themes, as well as consultant in communication projects. COMMERCE involves experts from different backgrounds: bringing together the expertise from the top specialists in the field, the space is in constant change, adapting to suggestions and tackling different topics.

a+mbookstore is the first Italian bookshop specialising in contemporary art. Founded in 1993, it stocks about thirteen thousand titles available at artecontemporanea.com. a+mbookstore edizioni has published around a hundred titles including artist books, catalogues, readers and translated publications, as well as having collaborated with countless independent entities, hosting exhibitions, presentations and concerts.
