How to publish DADA in your country?
Option 1: soft cover magazine
DADA can be launched abroad as a magazine, with a publication rhythm chosen by you. That’s the best way to retain the readership: you sell the magazines both in bookstores and by subscription, as we do in France or in the Netherlands (with Plint).

DADA can also be adapted into books, to be published as single titles or in thematics series, as we did in China (with Citic). For instance:
•Great masters: Da Vinci, Goya, Van Gogh, Picasso, Warhol…
•Modern art: Miro, Mondrian, Keith Haring, Dali, Hopper…
•Thematics: Landscape, Cities, Masterpieces, Portraits…
•Mediums: Photo, Street art, Drawing, Design, Architecture…
