1996-2006: 10 years of books, cutting and holes.
In 1996, starting my BA in Graphic Design at Central Saint Martins,
I little realised that 10 years later I would have travelled
internationally, lectured, written, exhibited and otherwise participated
in a completely different world, one of which I had absolutely no
knowledge at that point - Artists’ Books.
Indeed, it was only later, during 1999-2000, that I properly
discovered this field, and realised how the directions in my own work
of the last few years meant it could fall within it.

ambiguity. By actually allowing sight-lines through to
upcoming pages, or ones just passed, I created additional
possibilities in the direction and meaning of a narrative.
Strong inspiration came from animation and filmic traditions, which
also reflected my graphics training, where I had also explored Audio/
Visual Media. My exhibition at UWE, Bristol brings together a
selection of my work that particularly exploits this technique.
Walther PPK Mette Ambeck (2001) www.ambeck.mdd.dk
My initial fascination with books was as the traditional, familiar
containers of ideas and communication, so bound in tradition,
history and symbolism, that I had known all my life. My graphics
training then opened up a new appreciation of certain traditional
elements, including a close appreciation of typefaces and their
application that stays with me still.
Skills in bookbinding and, especially, an appreciation of paper as a
medium in itself then began to shape my work.
Diary of a Pyromaniac Mette Ambeck (1999) www.ambeck.mdd.dk
Soon, however, I also felt a strong desire to push boundaries
of form and content in books I sourced, designed and bound,
and the first thing that came to mind were holes. Their creation,
and the avenues opened up by cutting through the layers of the
pages might, I felt, add something new to theme and meaning.
These strange combinations of inspiration and traditions continue
through to my latest work, and in teaching book binding skills on
graphics courses I try to instil the excitement I first experienced.
Indeed, techniques combining the magic of the hole with
typographic forms are particular favourites of students.
While traditional pages are bound to be read and viewed
in a specific sequence, I wanted to introduce surprises and

Artists’ Books internationally, from South Korea to Australia, Finland,
Denmark, USA and UK. My work can be viewed in numerous public
collections, and at UK Artist’s Book Fairs I exhibit together with
Ensixteen Editions.
Now back in my homeland, on a two-year MA course in Copenhagen,
I study Digital Design Communication, with a focus on digital books.
To Have and to Hold
3rd - 20th March 2007
Chapel Row Gallery, 6 Chapel Row, Bath BA1 1HN

at her renamed and recently re-launched Chapel Row Gallery
(previously known as Six Chapel Row Contemporary Art) in Bath
with an exhibition of fine press books, to overlap the Bath Literary
Festival (3-11 March 2007).
Where could virtual holes lead, I wonder?

Folk Art and Fairy Tales
30 March to 3 June 2007
The Hub, Sleaford
Folk Art and Fairy Tales brings together ten artist-makers from across
the UK, connected by their excellence, creativity, and their fascination
with narrative and literature, folk art, legends and fairy stories.
Their works range from the witty and humorous through to those
that explore the darker, more mysterious side of myth and fairy tale.
A second theme running through the exhibition is the frequent
utilisation of discarded, recycled materials.
Boy Meets Girl prototypes, Mette Ambeck (2000) www.ambeck.mdd.dk
The exhibition will encourage visitors to explore their literary skills
and creative flair with a range of gallery activities and special events,
designed to engage both the young and mature with creative writing,
story telling and the idea of narrative within the visual arts. A series
of artist led short courses for adults and workshops for young people
are also available.
On Friday 1st June, Robin Williamson the distinguished musician,
story teller and founding member of The Incredible String Band will
run a workshop for children and later in the day a concert for all.

All that art tries to make invisible we transform into art.
With this premise, this new exhibition from the Centre of Attention
foregrounds aspects of our practice little commented on and brings
together a number of wabi-sabi strands of our work to create an
original piece for NÜANS, Düsseldorf.
The initial installation opens to the public and allows visitors to make
changes to the work, (first at the private view, and for the duration of
the show) by adding, moving and recombining elements, etc.
The space and the changes will be documented daily, then monthly
(with the help of Düsseldorf ’s community of artists).
Gemeinschaft: family (kinship group) tribe - unity of will
Gesellschaft: self interest, civil society, contract - sacrifice of will

of bookartbookshop, 17 Pitfield Street, London N1.
Curated by Richard Makin. From 2nd March, 2007
www.bookartbookshop.com (Old St Tube).
This open source work allows visitors to make artistic judgements
and statements and suggest challenges to our curatorial and artistic
tropes. Further it allows us to attempt a dematerialisation of the
audience and an ever-evolving exhibition.

One of the questions raised by this piece is, does the group thwart the
intention of the artist? Or does a collective response add to the artist’s
intention?
For the Arcadia exhibition tour programme see:
www.bookarts.uwe.ac.uk/arcadia.htm
Nothing lasts, nothing is finished and nothing is perfect.
The unstableness of the piece underpins the instability of definitions,
of human interaction, of the work’s existence and meaning.
Many thanks to Jana Harper, Erin Davis and all the staff at
Washington University for arranging the accompanying events for
Arcadia.
The individual is an unstable subject but the subject as object can not
avoid an increased entropic fate.

Inkubator: an exhibition of Artists’ Books, Prints and Multiples
Edinburgh Printmakers
17th March - 5th April 2007
23 Union Street
Edinburgh EH1 3LR
Scotland, UK
Arcadia id est: artists’ books, nature and landscape
Washington University Libraries, March 19th - May 13th, 2007
Arcadia id est is at the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts and
Washington University Libraries, One Brookings Drive. St. Louis, MO
63130-4899, USA. It will be on display in the Ginkgo Reading Room
& the Grand Staircase Lobby, John M. Olin Library.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a related panel discussion
and reception on Thursday, April 5, 2007.
Inkubator is being curated by artist, printmaker and book maker,
David Faithfull and aims to broaden the exposure of Artists’ Books in
Scotland. It includes the work of 50 British and International artists,
including Alec Finlay, Helen Douglas, Miranda Schofield, Otto
Dettmer, Sumi Perera, Imi Maufe, Chris Taylor, Borbonesa, Frans
Baake, Wiebke Loeper, David Bellingham, Sarah Bodman, Colin
Sackett, Susan Johanknecht, Paul Laidler, etc.
The Exhibition space is being divided into particular themed areas,
suitable for assembling, presenting, viewing and best contemplating
the work in a more challenging way than the often sterile glass
case and white glove treatment often associated with Artist’s Book
exhibitions. The idea is to have the work accessible to give the visitor
the maximum tactile sense of the work, although the more delicate
pieces will be protected to some degree.
One of the 118 artists’ books in Arcadia: Onslaught of Night Virginia Batson, 2000
Arcadia and the Metropolitan landscape university student workshop
will take place over the exhibition period.
Panel Discussion & Exhibition Reception
The panel will take place April 5, 2007, from 4-6pm, located in
Lab Sciences 300, followed by a reception from 6-7pm in the
Ginkgo Reading Room, John M. Olin Library.
The books and multiples are arranged in modular shelf units in
furnished rooms, adorned with specially commissioned wallpaper
designs and include wall mounted prints and floor pieces including a
specially hand woven rug multiple from Iran, entitled ‘the Great Bear’.
Panellists:
Sarah Bodman, Exhibition Curator, Centre for Fine Print Research,
University of West England, Bristol, UK

Cabin” wallpaper, by

Inkubator exhibition
Sandra Kroupa, Book Arts and Rare Books Curator, University of
Washington
Beth Meyer, Associate Professor of Landscape, Architecture,
University of Virginia
In conjunction with the exhibition, a group of Washington University
students will take part in a landscape studies/bookarts workshop
entitled Arcadia and the Metropolitan Landscape.
The workshop will be led by Jana Harper, Lecturer in Book Arts
(College of Art/Graduate School of Art) and Jane Wolff, Assistant
Professor (College of Architecture/Graduate School of Architecture
and Urban Design). Work produced by the students will be displayed
outside the Kranzberg Art & Architecture Library, lower level,
Kemper Art Museum, from April 2 - May 18, 2007.
Arcadia id est has travelled throughout Europe, Australia, and the
United States. In February, it was on view at The Art Institute of
Chicago, and in June it will be exhibited at the Rhode Island School
of Design, USA.
The ‘Study’ or sanctuary is for intellectual and scientific
contemplation, political and philosophical speculation. It includes
manifestos, text books, social pamphlets and architectural plans and
reflects urban life and the city dweller of for instance ancient Rome
or modern Vienna. The ‘Landscape’ area is diametrically opposite
from this ‘Study’, emotionally, intellectually and physically.
It is both the environment in flux and encapsulated in the moment.
It is representations, depictions and particular conditions, moods and
interpretations of nature, space and the elements. In between these
two, the thesis and antithesis, is the synopsis - the ‘Log Cabin’.

Here shaman meets poacher, twitcher meets stalker, is it a shrine or a
retreat, a hide or a hideaway? Zoological and botanical experiments,
an arboretum, the spiritual and the ritual, the expedition, ecology and
mythology are documented and investigated. Here Thoreau meets
Lynch in this hut on the edge of the wilderness.
The Possibility of Poetry: From Migrant Magazine to Artists' Books
British Library, 96 Euston Road, London
Until 25th March 2007 in the Folio Society Gallery, free admission.
Additionally the ‘Library’ area is for reference and reflection, indexes
and everything in between categories and catalogues, and the ‘Arcade’
or shop is both common room and play room, offering games,
dreams and slot machines, where a selection of the exhibited work
can be purchased.
An essay by writer and art critic Neil Cameron will be included in
the catalogue/multiple which will accompany the exhibition and is
available from Edinburgh Printmakers. There is a selection of audio
work, including a performance from the band ‘Found’ who will
interpret the themes of Inkubator at the Opening on 17th March.

Benjamin Prosser: Books, drawings and ephemera
27th February - 23rd March 2007
Foyer exhibition cases, UWE Bristol, Bower Ashton Campus,
Kennel Lodge Road, Bristol BS3 2JT
Born in 1974 Benjamin Prosser has been making books of poems and
drawings since 1998 after being hit by a bout of serious depression.
He set up his own imprint ‘the coffin press’ and self published seven
volumes of prints and poems. The books displayed along with his
drawings and mixed media figurative pictures are the original
manuscripts from which Benjamin edits for publishable work.
This exhibition charts the short but extraordinary life of the literary
magazine ‘Migrant’, which at the beginning of the 1960s published
many British and American poets soon to find renown.
Charles Olson, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Roy Fisher and the magazine’s
poet-editor Gael Turnbull were among the fascinating authors.
Using the new research and testimony from those who were there at
the time, the exhibition also displays examples of the magnificent fine
press and artists' books that several of the writers made in the years
after ‘Migrant’.
READER’S ART 7: frugal finds for prudent collectors
Susan Hensel Gallery, Minneapolis, USA
Until April 28, 2007
Artists from all over the United States were asked to send work on
the topic of frugality. Their work had to meet one of two conditions:
The work could be on any topic, priced UNDER $100 or the work
could be ANY price on the topic of Frugality. Most books and book
objects in this survey show are priced under $100, some as low as $3!
There are also precious books from well know national artists.; and,
for the second year, there is a show of books from the students of
Hudson High School, in Hudson, Wisconsin.
Special Events with Reader’s Art
Friday March 16, 7pm: FREE CRITIQUES with the CRIT SQUAD
“Stuck at an artistic impasse? Bring your problem creation and we’ll
help you try and figure out how to make it better.” The Crit Squad:
Carolyn Swiszcz, Mary Bergs, Theresa Handy, Barbara Gilhooly,
Monica Reede, Patty Scott and Michon Weekes.
The written/drawn work finds parallels in his primitive and
discordant music. His solo LP ‘Blues for Harpo’ was released in 2004
on the RIM label which specialises in the work of outsiders (drawing
comparisons with early Daniel Johnston and Lou Barlow’s Sentridoh)
whilst his band ‘the TAP collective’ released the single ‘killing flaw’
recalling the Thirteenth Floor Elevators, The Litter and Bo Diddley
on the Fitzrovian Phonographic label last year to critical acclaim.
Benjamin’s artwork and music displays a wilful disregard for current
tenets and trends of the art and music industries placing him in line
with his equally unfashionable heroes.

Steve Kurtz Waiting (2006)
By Jim Fetterley and Angie Waller
On May 11, Steve Kurtz phoned 911 to report his wife of 20 years
was unresponsive. When paramedics came to his house, one of them
noticed that Kurtz had laboratory equipment, which he used in his
art exhibits. The paramedics reported this to police and the FBI
sealed off his house.
CONTACT: [email protected] / 07940 561652
Other events during the fair include a commissioned performance
work by artist Stuart Mugridge, Friday from 6.00pm, talks by
MariaWhite, Chief Cataloguer at Tate Britain, Friday 2.00pm and
international artist Susan Hiller, Saturday 2.00pm. Print and bookmaking workshops for young people will take place on the Saturday.
Authorities later said that Kurtz’s wife had died of “heart failure”, but
he wasn’t allowed to return to his home for two days while the FBI
confiscated his equipment, and biological samples. They also carted
off his books, personal papers and computer.
Special Collections, Until 16th March 2007
Gallery open Monday to Friday 10.00am-5.00pm
& Saturday 10 March 10.00am-5.00pm

The contradiction between the charges for possessing harmful
substances and the county health commissioner assessing that no
hazardous substances were found in the house leaves only the
conclusion - that ideas, when misunderstood or disagreeable, are
toxic.

Kurtz is one of the founders of the Critical Art Ensemble, a group
whose beginnings in filmmaking over a decade ago have evolved
into public performances and videos that educate the public about
the politics of biotechnology. All of CAE’s museum and public
performances are meant to not only inform the public about the ways
their lives are affected by biotechnology, but also to dispel public
paranoia that is generated by the media and a lack of understanding.
Steve became the victim of this paranoia, and through the extended
powers of the US Patriot Act, he still awaits trial for mail fraud.
If found guilty, could face up to twenty years.
“Steve Kurtz Waiting” by Jim Fetterley and Angie Waller is a video
portrait of Steve Kurtz during a moment of indefinite anticipation as
routine court litigations continue. Through a series casual interviews,
Kurtz reveals an admirable calmness, spirited humor and a strong will
to continue his role as a cultural producer after months of close
surveillance, black vans, continued government scrutiny, and notably
in addition to, the mourning of his close partner.
This video will be screening in the Sundance Film Festival in a
programme called “Charged in the Name of Terror: Portraits by
Contemporary Artists.” Running Time 15:32 mins.
You can also watch the film via the youtube link on this webpage:

release at the Contemporary Museum in Baltimore. If you are in the

Helen Ingham and the Hi-Artz Press
Established by designer and illustrator, Helen Ingham, a member of
the Association of Illustrators, the letterpress work of the Hi-Artz
Press has been described as a meeting point of graphic design and
fine art, it is timeless, giving a contemporary yet traditional feel.
Following a career in animation and design spanning some 12 years,
Helen graduated with an MA in Communication Design from
Central St Martins College of Art in 2005. Her 16 letterpress posters
at the degree show were regarded by many as a breath of fresh air.
and discovered the work of Bryce McCloud and Isle of Printing while
in Nashville. This settled matters and made her decide to produce
work on a larger scale while developing her own style and after
acquiring yet more type and a larger proof press capable of printing
up to 13” x 22”, the Hi-Artz Press was born!
Helen can produce small
runs of distinctive letterpress
items, such as business cards,
postcards, drinks coasters and
posters on a variety of quality
papers, printed in 1 to 3
colours. Due to the nature of
the medium, each print is
unique and has a real warmth
and physical quality which is
rare in our digital age.
Helen has a (growing)
collection of wood and metal
type and can make Illustration blocks to order, using hand-cut lino.
Blocks can also be produced in zinc or polymer from customer’s own
artwork. Helen also has a collection of vintage illustration blocks
which are also available.

March 20, 2007: Worldwide Reading
In memoriam - Anna Politkovskaya
An appeal for a worldwide reading of Anna Politkovskaya’s reports
on Chechnya. The journalist and critic of Putin was assassinated on
October 7, 2006.
For the second time the Peter Weiss Foundation for Art and Politics,
based in Berlin, makes an appeal for a worldwide reading on March
20. In her reportages Anna Politkovskaya described the catastrophe
of the Chechen war, which was begun for paltry reasons and has since
gone on, conducted far from the public eye. Her texts portray scenes
of torture, reconstruct cold blooded murder, condemn the cynicism
of bureaucrats, depict the misery and desperation of a civilian
population that is being torn between the army and rebels, and
offer a nightmarish picture of the climate of state-fueled fear and
repression in Russia.
The selection of texts “Machkety: A Concentration Camp with a
Commercial Streak” and “Special Operation Zyazikov” (from the
book A Small Corner of Hell: Dispatches from Chechnya by Anna
Politkovskaya, translated by Alexander Burry and Tatiana Tulchinsky,
© 2003 The University of Chicago) should be used for the one-off
reading on March 20, 2007.
You can find these texts on:
www.literaturfestival.com/upload/pdf/Politkovskya_texts_Eng.pdf
as a PDF document. For the sole purpose of the worldwide reading,
the texts may be used free of charge on March 20, 2007.
After a good few years of collecting old printing equipment, and
learning and developing letterpress techniques on small, hand
operated presses, Helen fulfilled an ambition in Sept 2004 and
worked as an intern for Hatch Showprint in Nashville, Tennessee
(who have been producing show posters since 1879!). She also met
Last year, on March 20, 2006, the Peter Weiss Foundation initiated its
first worldwide reading on the occasion of the third anniversary of
the beginning of the war in Iraq. This event was marked as the first
“Anniversary of the Political Lie” on which Eliot Weinberger’s text
“What I Heard about Iraq” was read out at forty-seven venues
worldwide, in Australia, the US, Germany, Greece, Lebanon, the UK,
the Netherlands, Italy, Luxembourg, Switzerland and India.

In Memoriam Anna Politkovskaya.
Politkovskaya was awarded many foreign prizes for her work. In 2003
she received the first “Lettre Ulysses Award” for best reportage as well
as the Hermann Kesten Medal. In 2004 she was given the Olaf Palme
Prize, and one year later the Prize for Freedom and Future of the
Press. In Russia she was awarded the Prize of the Journalists Union
in 2001. In her native country, however, she also faced threats and
intimidation. Yet she refused to have a bodyguard in the same way
she refused to go into exile. In 2004 she was the victim of a poisoning
attempt. On October 7, 2006 she was shot by an unknown gunman
in the stairwell of her Moscow apartment block. The documents used
for her last article have gone missing. Anna Politkovskaya left behind
two children.
Advance tickets for Tight Lip events are now available to buy at
Permanent Gallery. Only 40 per event, so buying tickets in advance is
advised. (please note we cannot reserve tickets). Hope to see you there

Internet news
Imi Maufe emailed from Norway, with details of this artist’s project
she noticed on the Internet: Margaret Flood in Toronto has put out a
call for submissions from her website: “Help Create the Shapetionary!
What is the Shapetionary? It’s a visual index of objects.
It started from looking at the dictionary and wondering why some
words are illustrated and others aren’t, then thinking it would be
interesting to illustrate the whole dictionary, or all the object
nouns...then organise them by shape.”

I am a highly competent printmaker with special expertise in screenprinting. Have worked extensively with photography, digital printing, collage/photomontage and artists’ books, while my enthusiasm for new outlets has
drawn me to work in ceramics, enamel and carpentry.
I have teaching experience at the undergraduate level (both lecturing and
practical), have setup and now run my own screenprinting studio and have
further experience as a
studio assistant in America. My international background and commitment
to the medium of printmaking makes me an open, enthusiastic, hard-working and responsive practitioner.

P.T.O.
First ever Bristol Artist’s Book Event
SAT 21 & SUN 22 APR
10am - 6pm
FREE
The first event of its kind in Bristol, over fifty artist bookmakers,
publishers and dealers from across the globe will come to together
to display and sell their work to the public.
The notion of making art in an affordable, non-wall based format
has led to the growth of what we now recognise as the “artist’s book”.
A way of bypassing the constraints of the gallery, artists’ books have
brought art to a wider public through artists self-publishing their
work.
Many of the stalls will be run by the artists themselves, so visitors
will get the chance to meet and chat to them about their art and to
buy bookworks directly from the artists. With prices starting from
just a few pounds, this is a wonderful chance to buy unusual limited
edition works of art.
BABE has been organised by Arnolfini in conjunction with the Centre
for Fine Print Research at the University of the West of England.
Since re-opening in 2005, Arnolfini has been exhibiting bookworks in
the bookshop: BABE continues Arnolfini’s ongoing commitment to
the production and display of artists’ bookworks.
Says co-organiser Julian Warren “We’re very excited about the event.
Artists from Bristol will be showing at Arnolfini alongside work from
much further afield such as Poland, South Korea and the USA. BABE
is a first for the region and I think that people will find exploring this
unusual form of art really interesting.”
Bookworks from Arnolfini’s own archived collection will also be on
display on the second floor and there will be tours on both days led
by experts Tanya Peixoto, founder of bookartbookshop Ltd and Linda
Newington, Librarian at the Winchester School of Art Library.
Both tours take place at 2pm and are free.
The event isn’t just an opportunity for visitors- artists themselves will
be offered 45 minute surgeries held during the weekend where they
can discuss book production and other issues, and receive critical
feedback on their work from experts.

New Artists’ Publications
The Halliburton Code of Ethics is a new satirical bookwork about
Halliburton by Earle D Swope. The eight pages of the text block
contain the purported ethics of Halliburton but are all printed on
Dissolvo paper. The boards are slick acetate, the end papers are made
of green sponge cloth. The colophon cites the publisher as “The
Shock and Awe Press”, printed in French Script.
The Storm Tree Stories by Ed Boxall
The Storm Tree Stories are a series of four richly illustrated books by
Ed Boxall: The Gardener, The Shell Collector, The Railway Enthusiast
and The Birdwatchers. They are Published by Ed Boxall’s own
‘Pearbox Press’.
Ed completed an M.A in illustration at Saint Martins College in 1999
and has had several children's books published by Walker books. Ed
also makes his own small edition books and woodblock prints.
$15.95 USD each, unnumbered edition of 100
Copies can be purchased by contacting the artist by email:
[email protected] for paypal order info. 20% of the net price of
each book is being donated to Halliburtonwatch.org
The Storm Tree Stories are a very personal ‘labour of love’ for Ed,
in which he brings together a wild romantic spirit with the clear
communication he has learnt through commercial illustration.
The stories are set in the holiday region of Felldun. Felldun is loosely
based on his childhood holidays in North Wales.
After Nostalgia Press is pleased to announce publication of Harry &
Zeke Go Fishing, a collaboration between comic artist John
Karpinski and book artist Elysa Voshell.
In The Storm Tree Stories, hobbies are a chance for the characters to
quietly slip away from the world. In the same way the pictures and
stories are a way for me to slip away to a place where my imagination
and memory open up.
I’ve tried to make images of possibility, enchantment, wanderlust,
flight, discovery, and of a timeless sense of home all mixed up with a
timeless sense of far, far away. I’ve tried to make stories that take you
to the sky full of places to go - stories you can walk slowly around
rather than stories that are just about racing to the end.
Harry & Zeke Go Fishing addresses issues pertaining to attention
deficit disorder, cumulus clouds, the slow but steady return of the
door-to-door vacuum salesperson, and circus-related phobias, all
within thirty-two, glorious, full-colour pages.
It’s really important that the books are not in full colour- somehow
the deep blue makes them more separate from time. It makes them
more like dreams. I haven’t made the stories particularly for children
or adults - I’ve made them for anyone who daydreams.
Covers screenprinted on hand-watercoloured paper. Interiors letterpress and inkjet prints from original watercolour drawings.
Hand bound with fishhook clasp.
8.9 x 14 x .6 cm, 32 pages
Limited edition of 150, signed and numbered
2006, Philadelphia, USA.
$125 / £75 / E125
The books were made using old fashioned hands-on techniques, with
no computers being involved in making the images at all. The text is
done on an old type writer and by hand. They are printed in rich
blue on high quality uncoated paper.
Four illustrated books:
The Gardener ISBN 0-9551070-1-6 (32 pages)
The Shell Collector ISBN 0-9551070-2-4 (28 pages)
The Railway Enthusiast ISBN 0-9551070-3-2 (40 pages)

Pan-American, a new artist’s book
by Paul Laidler
The images were captured in Peru during
bus journey from Ica to Lima in October

each. Email: [email protected]

A New Publication From EMH ARTS
Mandy Bonnell: Antmothbeetlemillipedespider
Published by EMH Arts 2007
emma hill fine art eagle gallery
Mandy Bonnell’s fourth artist’s book extends her on-going
exploration of Lamu in Kenya, which she has visited regularly for over
10 years. Bonnell’s previous books and print works have referenced
the architecture, flora and aquatic life of this remarkable island and
in this new publication she has turned towards it’s insects. Working in
collaboration with the poet Gabriel Gbadamosi, Bonnell has made an
elegant tribute to these tiny creatures.
BRAINTWISTERS is Wotadot’s current venture, a puzzle magazine
customised by today’s anxieties of living in the 21st Century.
In a limited edition of 100, this book compiles fully original
illustrated word-search puzzles, mazes, spot the differences, ASCII art
and rules of the Universe… Assembled manually and relying less on
new technologies this book feeds from the ideas of imperfection and
self sufficiency.
Wotadot is based in London and
is a collaboration project between
visual artists Ivan Richards and
Ana Vicente. Improvised,
experimental, DIY and recycled,
their books include a pocket
garden, a story about living in a
box, a 9-5 office themed wordsearch book and a multi layered
photographic album of a visit to
Brick Lane.
Available from bookartbookshop,

Observed drawings are extended into sequences of minutely detailed
images, printed both from hand drawn plates and photo etchings.
Each image is counterpoised with a short poem, hand set in 1930s
Steel type and printed letterpress. Bonnell’s re-workings of her
original drawings bear references both to Robert Hooke’s
The Macrophile and 1950s pattern making, while the abstract cover
design is inspired by the richly decorative Kangas worn by the Kenyan
women.
I N S E C T A by Linda Broadfoot (Tale by A.S. Byatt)
INSECTA, a modern-day wunderkammer, contains thirty exquisite
prints of insects selected from the Florida State Collection of
Arthropods made from original hand-worked 20”x 24” image
transfers produced at the New York Polaroid Studio. A.S. Byatt’s tale
of enchantment, “Things Are Not What They Seem,” from her novella
Angels and Insects, is paired with the images to create this cabinet of
curiosity.

In the creation of INSECTA, artist Linda Broadfoot seamlessly unites
traditional letterpress with a new printing process. She printed the
text on Hahnemühle Biblio and Copperplate papers using a
Vandercook Universal III at the Letterpress & Foundry of Michael
and Winifred Bixler in Skaneateles, New York where the
Centaur and Arrighi types were cast.
For the book’s illustrations, the mammoth original Polaroid transfers
were rephotographed and produced as digital prints on Crane’s
Museo. The Epson printer used employs the most recent technology

Making balloons in Lismore - CODEX EVENT 4,
Southern Cross University, Lismore, Australia
Report by Sara Bowen, Australia
In January 2007 Southern Cross University in Lismore, New
South Wales, Australia, ran Codex Event 4, the fourth in a series of
collaborative book arts projects conceived of and run by Tim Mosely.
Tim’s suggested theme was of balloons crossing boundaries that
people cannot cross, which led to an emotional discussion among the
seven participants about Australian Immigration Detention Centres
and the plight of refugees.
Sarah Crooks Flaire created the line drawings enlivening the text.
Papers handmade by Ann Marie Kennedy and Kathryn Clark grace
the endsheets and covers. A half-bound portfolio, constructed and
embossed by Julie Leonard, houses the three-section booklet
containing Byatt’s story and the six individually bound image
signatures. Each copy of INSECTA is encased in a custom maple
and poplar insect specimen box.
Edition of 50 numbered and signed copies, and four proofs.
$5000 each, published Autumn, 2005, 9” x 13” x 2-H”, 84 pp.

Future Fantasteek! by Jackie Batey, Damp Flat Books
Issue 2 published February 2007
...Comfort & Security Issue
Softback Zine printed in greyscale on flourescent pink paper, stapel
bound. A5 size containing 20 printed pages, Pearl grey/pink cover
with 2 glitter shapes. Issue two: Brighton 2007. Edition size, fifty.
The collaborative process was interesting and challenging, especially
with fewer than ten working days in which to produce an edition of
many artworks and it was invigorating to work with a range of people
from just-graduated SCU Visual Arts students to graduates and staff
with years of professional practice behind them.
From initial discussions that involved flying balloons into detention
centres or using them as vehicles to get messages from detainees out
into the world the scope of the project was refined into the creation
of twelve balloons, one for each of Australia’s detention centres.
Tim found a template on the Internet for an eight-gored paper
balloon, that glued together, could carry a small payload and still
fly away, and the balloons became a metaphor for the freedom
denied to asylum seekers.
The first task was making the paper: incredibly thin and strong sheets
of mixed papyrus, hibiscus and banana fibres - around 60 sheets in all
- which dried very fast in Lismore's summer sunshine! Tim’s method
of screen-printing pulp onto the wet sheets of paper as they dried
on the walls was used to create haunting images of the sea, sinking
vessels and harrowing text from ship-wreck survivors.
Future Fantasteek!, Issue Two is now ready, it was produced in an
edition of fifty - on flourescent pink paper with pearl cover (with 2
glitter shapes), embossed with the Damp’s logo.
This Zine is proof that there’s still plenty wrong with modern living.
Mixing-up hand-drawn typographic slogans, spurious advice and
bizarre advertisements. The ‘Damp Flat Research Facilities’ (hastily
re-hired, on short-term contracts only) have surpassed themselves in
bringing you broken machinery; whether ‘yes’ or ‘no’ is the right
response; the reassurance that ‘everybody’s got something wrong with
them’; and an enemy in a box. Future Fantasteek! Two, is the
COMFORT & SECURITY issue.

Once all the sheets were dry other images were screenprinted on to
both sides, the gores were cut out and everything was glued together.
The resulting balloons are amazing: the images were curated to
different aspects of immigration detention, from official stamps to
reasons for refusal of asylum to the wretched conditions in which
asylum seekers often arrive in Australia.
Folded down along the lines of the gores the balloons become books
in a form that echoes the shape of the boats. The books/balloons
haven’t yet been bound, but the intention is to install them on the
coast near Lismore one evening, tethered to books of law, and to
document the installation in the process of binding them.

The importance of process is also
exhibited in her “Buried Books”
series (1981). Hand-bound books
buried in local wetlands were
retrieved after nature “wrote” her
own story. Documentation of the
burial and retrieval accompany the
soil-embedded, fungic objects dogeared by the elements; artifacts to be
read archeologically, conceptually and
aesthetically.
JOAN LYONS - Selected Work/Four Decades & A Reading Room:
Books from Visual Studies Workshop Press
Rochester Contemporary, Rochester New York
January 26 - February 25, 2007
Report by Scott McCarney, Rochester, NY
Joan Lyons is well known as the founding director of Visual Studies
Workshop Press. For 30+ years she facilitated the production of
hundreds of books by artists in addition to teaching in the graduate
program and managing a visiting artist's program at the Workshop.
Selected Works brings together more than a dozen projects that span
the same time period as her tenure at VSW. The print series and
books on display are based in a variety of photographic media,
including silver and non-silver print processes, Haloid Xerography,
offset lithography and digital prints. This variety might suggest a fractured sense of direction but her use of the media to define ideas is
logical and consistent. “Work [grew] directly from the materials and
processes at hand and I often have had to re-invent those means for
each piece.”
The context of a large gallery for this retrospective weighs heavily
towards Joan’s print work, but the wall pieces read as “extended
spaces” like bookworks. This relationship is illustrated in “The
Gynecologist” (1989), presented as an offset book and an installation
of large cyanotype prints. The male medical establishment’s relation
to the female body is dissected through the (male) doctor/(female)
patient interview and historical representations (by men) of female
anatomy. The intimacy of the book and scale of the wall-mounted
prints utilise the display to accentuate this gendered medical
dichotomy. The same information is revealed through inhabiting the
body as a book in hand, and illustrating the body as prints on the
wall.
The earliest works in the
show, “Artifacts” and “Prom”
(mid 1970s), are offset prints
of fabric objects that were
pressed and photographed
using a 16 x 20 in. graphic
arts camera glass copy board.
Joan utilised the weave of the
cloth as a natural half-tone
screen, highlighting
the texture of the textile. A well-worn cut-work embroidered
handkerchief, spent striped pillow cover, soiled “Artco” shop rag
and her daughter's floral patterned prom dress contribute Joan’s
personal text to the issues of feminist art production of the era.
Portraiture is a theme Joan returns to at least once every decade, from
the “Women’s Portrait Series” (1972-1980), Haloid Xerox transfer
“drawings” and her offset bookwork “My Mother’s Book” (1993) to
her recent ink jet prints, “Personas” (2004-05). These 16 x 20
inches digital photographs explore the public image or personality
distinguished from the inner self definition one perceives in her
earlier series. The imagery drawn from the street and public
institutions of Oaxaca and Mexico City reveals a multi-faceted mask
of this latin culture. A mix of politics (Che Guevera), religion (The
Pope) and pop culture (Elvis) are ambiguously represented by all
subjects in this series mix.
The relationship of textile to “text” is repeated in several other works.
“Collected Works,” (1987) a project completed at the Women’s Studio
Workshop in Rosendale NY, consists of hand made paper made from
ten years worth of Joan's prints shredded and pulped. This process of
recycling and renewal reveals small bits of text and images that float
on the surface of the felted pages.
The display of books from VSW press (curated by Tate Shaw) is an
impressive legacy of Joan’s tenure. No two books are alike - each
volume is distinctly the originating artist/author’s voice, not an editor
or publishers: They are definitive artists’ books, the press and Joan’s
facilitation being the unifying common denominator.
Floral motifs reoccur in the “Presences” series of 1980, a portfolio
of large offset portraits made with a snapshop esthetic, the human
subjects out of focal range and the fabric patterns rendered in relative
clarity.
Thomas A. Goldwasser has been a full-time professional rare book
dealer since 1974. He established Thomas A. Goldwasser Rare Books,
Inc. in 1990. Specialising in first editions of English and American
literature, literary autographs and manuscripts, fine and designer
bindings, livres d'artistes and illustrated books, and also a variety
of interesting and rare books in other fields.
Joan came to photography from a background of painting and
drawing, and takes photography at it's root meaning: drawing with
light. “Footprints” (1980-86), a series of diazo brown prints (a process
used by architects for copying drawings), was a turning point in
Joan’s thinking about photography: “Once I realized my eye was not
essential to the photographic process . . . I became interested in
recording what I could not see or at least those things that my
everyday vision eluded.” These prints are haunting traces of Joan’s
friends who “stood” for their portrait on the sensitized sheets of
vellum.

Bibliomania, Holden Gallery, Manchester Metropolitan University
Report by Catriona Stamp, UK
Bibliomania was on show at the Holden Gallery, Manchester
Metropolitan University, Manchester from 11th - 28th January 2007,
curated by the Righton Press group.
CODEX Book Fair and Symposium: The Fate of the Art, The Hand
Printed Book in the 21st Century, University of California, Berkeley
and UC Berkeley Art Museum, USA, 12th -15th February.
Report by Sarah Bodman, UK
I found the section on altered books in the exhibition, ‘Bibliomania’,
in the Holden Gallery, at Manchester Metropolitan University, an
absolute delight, a feeling which seemed to be shared by many other
visitors.
I thought that the decision by the organisers to ask that the cover
remain unaltered was a good one, as the contrast between the
normal cover and the altered content became an important part of
the experience. The organisers suggest that the alterations were
made as acts of homage, revenge, extension and interpretation.
I particularly appreciated the artwork, when I could understand the
reasons for the alterations, though there were many which impressed
me with their skill.
I was struck by several references to the history of Nazi Germany,
perhaps due to connections being made between book-burning, and
destruction of the author's message by other means. One example
was ‘Mein Kampf ’, by Adolf Hitler, altered by Katrina Vivian. The
simplicity of the alteration; the printing of numerals on the pages,
until by the end of the book the numbers engulf the text, not only
referenced the numbers tattooed on the people taken to the camps,
but also conveyed visually how Hitler is remembered.
We attended the first biennial CODEX Book Fair and Symposium at
the University of California, Berkeley and UC Berkeley Art Museum,
USA from 12th -15th February.
117 stands at the fair included artists, dealers, educational and public
organisations dedicated to the art of the book. Exhibitors came from
the USA, Canada, Israel, Australia, United Kingdom, Germany,
Mexico, Colombia and Russia.
Similarly ‘The Rainbow Trail’, by Grey, was altered by Neil Grant with
the burning of cattle brands from the American West into the pages,
to remind us how the territory of America was claimed by the settlers,
and to undercut the romance of the original story.
San Francisco Bay Area’s libraries, book-arts & bibliophilic
organisations also hosted events over the week including
Bartkowiak's Best: Book Art from the Hamburg Archives,
at The San Francisco Center for the Book.
The question of identity, especially of those groups ignored and
obliterated, concerned several artists, so that ‘Primary English’, altered
by Linda Thomas, became an evocation of childhood visits to Welsh
grandparents, with English words replaced by Welsh.
But the entries were not all in a serious vein; some made me laugh,
such as ‘The Theory of Motivation’, altered by Zimmy Iredale with its
movement-activated, spoken message, ‘Put the book down and f…
get on with it’.
Even those which seemed to me to have been altered because of
disagreement with the book’s genre, could entirely change the
message by distraction, rather than confrontation e.g. ‘Perfume’, by
Suskind, altered by Peggy Leung, with the addition of perfume labels
and impregnated with scent, or ‘Lace’, by Conran, altered by Tom
Sowden, with an impressively-intricate lace pattern cut through the
pages.
Stefan Bartkowiak’s talk at the SFCB during Bartkowiak's Best reception for CODEX.
Far fewer were altered in homage. Of these, the ones which impressed
me the most were the detective novels altered by Yan Laundy.
These chunky, sculptural works - the cut pages stapled together
in layers and one book containing a stone intrusion - were very
evocative and respectful acts of book-murder.
Curator Stefan Bartkowiak founded Forum Book Art in Hamburg one of the most active organisations in Europe for promoting fine
book art. He has also recently launched b-art1, an international
online database of contemporary book art.
The symposium lectures featured:
‘The Scarlet Letter’, by Hawthorne, altered by Niki Hearns, was the
only book I found which had been altered primarily in a literary
fashion, with the insertion of a story about Hester and her illegitimate
daughter.
Felipe Ehrenberg, Cutting and pasting: metaphor of life. Ehrenberg was
the co-founder of the Beau Geste Press, has lived and worked in
Mexico City and London and now lives and works in Sao Paolo. His
work will be the subject of a major retrospective this summer
(www.ehrenberg.art.br)
This exhibition showed that the genre of altered books has moved
on from its scrap-booking origins and can be utilised by artists to
produce high-quality works of art.

The author is a multi disciplinary artist who has a breadth of
first hand experience and family links with the established painting

A publication, The Fate of the Art, The hand made book in the 21st century (editor David Jury) will catalogue the presses and their books,

The symposium and the fair had a great buzz about them, were full of

meet so many wonderful people involved in the field, and to see such
a huge array of wonderful books. I would very much recommend
arranging to visit the next CODEX in 2009. For more information on

Book Review
Andrew Lanyon - Circular Walks Around Rowley Hall
Review by Guy Begbie, Book Arts Co-ordinator at Herefordshire
College of Art and Design, UK.
Andrew Lanyon’s Circular Walks celebrates the creative nature of
enquiry. It attests to a glorious quintessentially English sense of the
surreal, at once both mocking and championing idiosyncratic artistic
endeavour.
The book’s three protagonists, Walter, Mervyn and Vera reside
at Rowley Hall. They are parodies of a dedicated but detached
heteronymic engagement with scientific and creative practice.
Their parallel world encroaches from the environs of the cornish
fishing community of St Ives, as they test their theories on the local
populace.
The reader of their exploits plunges headlong, to be harangued with
tales that trawl the parameters of the absurd. The catch, a hilarious
Andrew Lanyon works in a polytunnel studio, an environment
probably conducive to the isolation and intensification of ideas.
A process where rumination, then germination of narrative grafts,
encourages the growth of tendril digressions. These are often comical
tangents, where protagonists make bold pronouncements, concluding
that “art is the only visually transmitted virus”.
Circular Walks is a compendium, a selection of texts from the twelve
previous Rowley publications. The book is visually punctuated with
black and white images which help to create a fluid edit. They chart
a non linear, family chronology with a gaga sincerity in the manner
of Ernst and a technical manual montage. Some of the images are
illustrative reproductions of paintings by the author. Others present
intriguing, constructed and altered artefacts. They demonstrate
facets and aesthetic concerns of the authors visual arts practice.
The purposeful, continuity between these objects and paintings
reveals an organic physical making process in the development of
Andrew Lanyon’s text narrative. The inherent sculptural formality
and naive painterly qualities represented by the images, also alludes
directly to the St Ives modernist archetype.
Circular Walks Around Rowley Hall is a paperback contained in a slip
case. The book contains an errata slip tipped inside the front cover
that states that “everything is a metaphor for something else”.
Published by Atlas Press as an Atlas Anti-Classic, Circular Walks has
been sympathetically edited by Alastair Brotchie. The edition is
limited to 1000 copies and 99 signed and numbered copies published
by The London Institute of Pataphysics. ISBN 1 900565 35 8, £18 each
