Publications

Paintings by KAWS, foreword by Carlo McCormick Michelin, the Simpsons, Mickey, Astroboy and Miffy all fall victim to KAWS in C10, the third publication from the Brooklyn based artist.

Published as a collaboration between the gallery at ARO.space and Colette in Paris to accompany shows in Seattle and Paris. The book features KAWS's early work from the 1990s — his appropriation and intervention of advertising material, cleverly reworked with variations of his hallmark skull and crossbones.

Published to accompany a touring exhibition curated by Neverstop, Free Activation Series Vol. 3 documents a collaboration between neo-graffiti artists and Northwest Coast Native craftsmen — two traditions rooted in iconographic visual language, separated by centuries but sharing a commitment to symbol, repetition, and meaning.

A portrait series exploring the space between two people who share a face. Sorum photographed twins in New York and Los Angeles, and on location at twins festivals in Twinsburg, Ohio and Lake Tahoe, Nevada — capturing what connects them and what distinguishes them.

A monthly zine and weekly club night launched in 2009 as a response to the post-crash malaise in Seattle's queer arts scene.

"Revolution in Cuba has a name and it's hip hop." - Junior Clan

The first complete retrospective of Cuban hip hop - a movement raised on free education, zero MTV, and years of fighting for legitimacy. Once illegal, Cuban rap earned its way into the establishment through persistence: an obstinate youth outlasting a concerned government.

The Art of Parties chronicles Seattle’s late-’80s through early-2000s underground, when drag, DJs, conceptual art, and the early Internet collided to spark one of the Pacific Northwest’s most inclusive and experimental creative movements. Featuring archival photos, original flyer art, and firsthand stories, it serves as both a love letter and a time capsule of an era that can’t be recreated.

A two-volume multimedia tribute to rock 'n' roll, co-published with Manhattan creative collective Alife.

Fifty-six artists reinterpreted classic rock album covers. Emerging recording artists contributed new music. Writers delivered rock-inspired fiction. The project revisits three pillars of rock 'n' roll's cultural impact - music, packaging, and writing - bound into two 12×12 softcover volumes with accompanying vinyl.
