From 15–24 February 1975, Galerie S:t Petri in Lund presents the Danish experimental publishing house Edition After Hand.

According to Henrik Have, who founded the edition at the beginning of the 1970s, Edition After Hand is more of a concept than a publishing house.
The goal was first and foremost to publish books and objects (multiples) by Have himself.
However, editions by other artists, such as the American Ken Friedman, have also been produced.
A magazine of the same name as the publishing house has recently been launched and has published six issues so far.

Henrik Have describes Edition After Hand as follows:

“It has become apparent in the work with writing and image (not least in the aftermath of the May 1968 revolt in Paris) that the definition of a state can no longer be said to be about the difference or independence of things, but rather about the process itself — which contains the invisibility of things.

The only form that exists is the private one (outside of and with others – it exists nowhere else); the only possible recognisable publicness.

Edition After Hand is the schizophrenia between the private and the public.
Schizophrenic because there are no boundaries between these states.
Schizophrenic because the states of political struggle are defined in order to create linguistic and social proof of the absence of one of these states.

Edition After Hand has arisen out of these states.

You are beautiful, and what you say explains nothing, but is the process: you are beautiful.

Edition After Hand is a process — not a goal.”

The exhibition is open on weekdays 15:00–20:00,
and on Saturdays and Sundays 12:00–17:00.
