On 27 November 1960 Yves Klein published his one day only newpaper Dimanche - Le Journal d'un Seul Jour, on the cover of which was his famous The Leap into the Void. A work of montage, of conceptual art, a political statement and an artistic intervention into the everyday, Klein’s Dimanche was indicative of many strands of art that have since come to dominance. Taking and breaking Klein’s artist’s publication, Broken Dimanche Press is interested in continuing the practice of artists editing newspapers, writers drawing out their visions and editors falling flat on their faces.

Broken Dimanche Press is a non-profit publisher of fiction, poetry and politics. Growing out of the contemporary art initiative Parking Meter Press, Broken Dimanche has a European wide focus on considered experimental fiction and poetry and challenging political journalism. Every Broken Dimanche book is a special object in which visual artists and writers meet to create unique ekphrastic collaborations. Careful editorial preferences and a commitment to design prevail, as does a belief in translated works and the re-discovery of out of print works, all leading to a singular approach to navigating the debates and darker corners of contemporary European culture and thought.
