How does a painter live in harmony with their work and the world?

Unknown. The author publishes anonymously as "The Painter."

LOCATION was founded in 2010 as an artist-run, independent publisher dedicated to collaborative artist projects. Location books have been acquired by major museum libraries across the United States, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, SFMOMA, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, and the Walker Art Center.

In 2024, LOCATION-BKS, a new iteration of the project, evolved from producing limited-edition artist books to publishing text-driven, mass-market paperbacks. This shift expands opportunities for our artists, offering broader distribution and a greater audience while maintaining a commitment to innovative ideas that address the issues and aesthetics of our time.

Tess Rankin's translations of nonfiction, poetry, and short fiction have appeared in Huck Magazine, jubilat, Precog Magazine, and Barricade: A Journal of Antifascism & Translation. Her translations of art and cultural texts have appeared as part of a project sponsored by the Tabakalera Cultural Center, in the Argentinian Pavilion's 2017 Venice Biennale catalogue, in e-misférica, in materials for documenta fifteen (2022), and elsewhere.

Her translations of two children's books, by Mireya Tabuas and by Gerald Espinoza, are out now with Alliteration.

She also works with organizations such as the Museo Reina Sofía, Temblores Publicaciones, the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime, and Alliteration Publishing. She volunteers as a copyeditor for Critical Resistance's Abolitionist newspaper.
