This is an online compendium of pamphlets curated from original submissions and collected ephemera out of copyright. The pamphlet is an antique media template that provides a simple platform for information, whether in the form of paper or pdf.

This collection exists on-line in pdf form, allowing visitors to download and physically compile the publications themselves.

Swanpile generates its own titles by invited submissions from a network of associated artists, writers, publishers, designers, philosophers, and others but also appropriates vintage pamphlets from archives around the world. The collection of titles selected for swanpile is informed by an interest in the confluence of the naturally pragmatic as typified by apian architecture fused with a cult of the swan and its near mythic character.
