The Malevich Society also sponsors publications devoted to Malevich, as well as translations of his texts, and texts about him, into other languages.

The Society welcomes applications from scholars of any nationality, and at all stages of their career. Proposed projects should increase the understanding of Malevich and his work, or augment historical, biographical, or artistic information about Malevich and/or his artistic legacy.
