Stripping the meaning of “publication” to its etymological roots of “issuing forth” or “the act of making public”, 3-ply framed the Biennial bookstore as a site for performative publication and discursive agency. Conversational exchange amongst mobilized visitors and observers (framed as simultaneously readers and authors) mutated into a series of performances and texts that accumulate to offer alternatives to the conventional Biennial publications, in the form of a speculative guidebook and parallel catalogue. The bookstore was presented by 3-ply with Yekatarinburg bookshop Йозеф Кнехт, as part of the main programme of the 3rd Ural Industrial Biennial, which was curated by Biljana Ciric and Li Zhenhua. In exhibition settings, 3-ply has operated as a shifting collaborative; for the 3rd Ural Industrial Biennial, 3-ply was Lisa Radford, Liang Luscombe and Fayen d’Evie.
