Tlön Editions was founded in 1997 by Janine Wong, Marc St.Pierre, and Lasse B. Antonsen, three faculty members at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, representing the departments of Design, Fine Arts and Art History, as well as the University Art Gallery. Since 2002, Mark Millstein, from the Design Department, has also been associated with the project. Three projects have been finished:

Wherever You Are Not
Luca Buvoli,
Born in Brescia, Italy, 1963
Lives in New York City
This multiple was created as the poster for the film, Wherever You Are Not, which is part of the "Not-a-Superhero" comic book series. The first trial proof of the lithograph, with added collage elements, served as a poster outside John Weber Gallery in New York during the artist’s exhibition, Wherever You Are Not. The poster was updated regularly by the artist with text additions such as "ten more days," "last day," etc. The poster trial proof 1/2 was destroyed at the end of the exhibition. The exhibition was on view April 26 – May 24, 1997
Published by Tlön Editions at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth in an edition of 18, with two trial proofs, one artist’s proof and two printer’s proof. The full edition was finished in early April 1997. The two-color lithograph was printed by Marc St.Pierre, assisted by Lasse B. Antonsen, on BFK Rives Grey, with wire and plastic elements added by the artist. The image on the box was flocked with carborundum. Collage elements were added by the artist.
