Gomma has gone a long way since its first Gomma Magazine came out in 2004.Throughout all these years, Gomma has been actively promoting photographers and their work; both the established and the emerging.Gomma has been publishing and working with internationally renowned artists, such as Roger Ballen, Anders Petersen, Michael Ackerman and Daido Moriyama, but at the same time, it has been able to dedicate resources and energy in order to support fairly unknown photographers that are regularly discovered by the Gomma editorial team.Gomma was founded without the profits in mind by four artists that were looking to conceive a fresh new space for photographers. It was meant to be independent, uncompromising and daring; and after more than ten years, it has managed to remain so.Under the Gomma estate, we find Gomma Books Ltd - the bijou publishing house manufacturing collectible and highly qualitative photography books. In 2012, the first volume of the MONO trilogy was published and distributed worldwide, the hardcover book, now a sold-out title, showcased the best in contemporary black and white photography.Gomma Books has recently published the second volume of MONO, including Daido Moriyama,In addition, it continues to work with exciting artists on new titles, such as the renowned Japanese Keizo Kitajima and the talented Tokyo Rumando.This year Gomma is also organizing a new series of qualititative workshops under the Radical Matter umbrella projects.Michael Ackerman will be attending in September 2016, while Anders Petersen will be helding an exclusive workshop in mid October. In addition a very useful workshop about large format Polaroid conducted by Michele Turriani.
