Lisa-Marie Harris
Artist & Founder

Instead of sketching or making models, I write. That's how work is resolved in my art practice: I write prose, theorise through essays and keep lengthy lists on everything and anything. In fact, most of my exhibitions are first realised in a piece of text before a single artwork sees the light of day.

Making books was the next obvious step. In many ways it was inevitable, given that I grew up at the foot of my mother's bookbinding table in our living room, and spent most days after school playing with my father's linotype machine at the old Government Printery on Tragarete Road in Port-of-Spain, back home in Trinidad.

Based in London with a Caribbean soul, Au Courant Studio is a publishing / practice for articulating these personal histories and documenting the cultural nuances of existing between city and island.

In addition to collaborating with other artists and producing commissioned work, Au Courant Studio produces original artist books, zines, periodicals, and print publications alongside the occasional release of limited-edition goods, all of which are made-to-order.

The work is intentionally slow, the outcomes carefully considered.

Studio Focus

Alongside independent comissions and collaborations, Au Courant Studio makes original artist books, zines, and collectible editions.

How the Studio Works

"In short, I make books and produce creative projects for myself, for brands & institutions, and for other artists."

01

Editorial Production

You have some or all of the content and imagery for your print project but you don't quite know how to actually put it all together.

02

Print Design

There's a unorthodox, yet refined take you want to achieve in the look your printed materia, but you already have all the other bits sorted.

03

Publishing

You need the above two, and for everything else to be done as well.

04

Photography

You like the way I take images of my work, you've seen an editorial I've designed using my images, or you've seen my still life photos and want something with a similar vibe.

05

Art Commissions

There's an artwork, performance or installation you'd like to create, and it has something to do with the themes and aesthetic approach of my practice.
