Hackney Mile of Art 2006

I will be participating in this year's Mile of Art, Hackney, Sunday October 1, 2006, between 11.00am-5.00pm. See last year's blog entry for this event for pictures.
I will be next to my friend Claire Nock, a printmaker and painter, who promises to drum up viewers with a market traders call!
Imagine it, an entire mile of art stretching through East London!

Artists' Books are hard to pin down

Some brave attempts at defining the genre of Artists' Books:

University of Washington Libraries

Yale-Artists' Book Information Resource, Jae Jennifer Rossman

Kohler Art Library, click on Artists' Books, enter the virtual exhibit, then scroll down to What are Artists' Books?

The Bookarts Web

Printed Matter, Inc.

Serendipity Press

I have decided to publish my artists' books under a press name: Serendipity Press.


Everything big is made up of something small. Trying my best to make contact with humanity, I make books that offer a moment of cheerful confusion, books that celebrate the beauty of the so-called ordinary, books made of groupings and lists, cataloguing the things and places we think we know, books that offer a new look at things you see every day. (Also, the occasional faltering attempt at communication about big ideas.)

I m currently working on a new book about American's and passports.

Selected for the Prelude Exhibition

I will have a space at the Prelude exhibition in October! I just found out I was selected!
Opening hours: 10:00 to 6:00
Friday Oct. 6, Sat. Oct. 7 and Sun. Oct. 8, 2006.

'Prelude'

is a new public art initiative from Inspired Art and Spitalfields Estate, which supports up and coming artists by showcasing their work in the run up to the Fourth Inspired Art Fair held this year at Christ Church, Spitalfields, in East London.

I will have as many paintings on display as I can get down there, small and large, and a table with some artists books.

Sefton Open

I have had a large (120x150cm) painting called 'Going Out of Business' selected for The Sefton Open (11 September - 5 November). Now in its eleventh year, the Sefton Open is one of the largest and most varied exhibitions of contemporary multi-media two-dimensional work in the North West. It takes place at the

Atkinson Art Gallery

in Southport, Merseyside.

Manchester Artist's Book Fair

I will have a table at the first

Manchester Artist’s Book Fair

on Sept 30, 2006.
I will have about 10 different books and some postcards on display for handling. I have about 5 works in progress but don't know what will be finished in time for the fair.
