booklessness

Well a great day in London culminating in the private view at Camberwell – the show looks most excellent with some interesting inroads into the courses ongoing discussion around and engagement with book. The first show was over 20 years ago in what is now the canteen! – It’s been an exciting journey of discovery. The show titled BOOK LESS NESS is worth a visit and is on from the 16th – 23rd July. In the next room there is also some good printmaking on display! It was good to meet past students and to catch up with their success stories – they are all doing most great things and it felt good to be a small part of their journey. I also managed to meet some prospective students and some that are actually joining the 2014-15 cohort – the projection has started. There were a number of prizes awarded – not only money and prestige from a book art  Alumni group but opportunities in the form of a residency at The London Centre for Book Arts with Simon in Hackney http://londonbookarts.tumblr.com/ and two interventions at thebookartbookshop with Tanya http://www.bookartbookshop.com/ – I look forward to it all.
