Description courtesy Printed Matter:

Circulation is an experimental journal exploring the movement of concepts and research in contemporary art.

Circulation, Issue 001 features mostly primary information in draft form by members of the TXT collective, including The Artist’s Contract for Decentralized Art (ACDA), an open source legal agreement for use in the transfer of decentralized art, and a starting definition of decentralized art as an art form.

TXT completed this work from early 2023 to late 2025, within a hybrid, collaborative practice spanning art, law, economics, history, technology, and media theory.
This issue also features contributions by Christian Rattemeyer and Lauren van Haaften-Schick, providing context in the history of artist rights, particularly the late 1960s and early 1970s in New York City, where the conceptual art movement gave rise to The Artist’s Reserved Rights Transfer and Sale Agreement of 1971
