Edition Haus am Gern

Edition Haus am Gern is a Swiss publishing house specializing in books in the field of visual art, based in Biel/Bienne. It was founded in 2001 as an art-book publisher by Barbara Meyer Cesta and Rudolf Steiner, two artists who have been a couple privately and who have worked together under the label Haus am Gern since 1998. Under that label they involve not only other artists and specialists but also laypeople in their conceptual work. Metaphorically speaking, Edition Haus am Gern has occupied one of the (virtual) rooms of the house am Gern. The publishing program is characterized by a kind of nihilistic modesty, as the vision of Edition Haus am Gern is formulated. The press publishes artist books and poetry, often in multi-volume or conceptually driven formats. In 2004 the edition received a prize for the most beautiful books of Switzerland for the multi-volume poetry collection Nicht bei Trost – a never ending Haiku by Franz Dodel. The publisher remains active and maintains a website with sections for about and contact, news, and a newsletter.
