On the Conceptual Practices of Nick Thurston
Intro Teaser
Nick Thurston is a writer and editor who makes artworks, mining the gray zones between poetry and contemporary art. From 2006 to 2018, he was part of the influential collective Information as Material, the first British imprint dedicated to conceptual writing, a form of avant-garde poetics described as a “fusion or (con)fusion of art and literature.” Thurston’s work—spanning experimental books, exhibitions, artist’s publications, and interventions—explores topics including the rise of the transnational far right, libraries as sites of care and resistance, and “document practices,” the creative re-use of already public materials. In 2026, he released his artist’s publication “Always More” (The Everyday Press), a loose-leaf broadsheet collection of poems. White Fungus editor Ron Hanson interviewed Thurston about “Always More” and his larger body of work.
