| CONFERENCE, UK | University of the West of England, Bristol will host a 2 day conference exploring artists books Traditional and emerging formats of artists’ books: Where do we go from here? Dates: 9th and 10th July 2009 Venue: at the School of Creative Arts, University of the West of England, Bristol, UK. 10am – 5pm each day. We are seeking papers and members for discussion panels for a two-day conference we will be hosting on 9th and 10th July 2009. We invite artists, academics, students, presses, publishers, curators, dealers and collectors to submit abstracts for papers and discussion topics, based upon the title of the conference: Traditional and emerging formats of artists’ books: Where do we go from here? There will be a total of twelve papers presented over the two days and two discussion sessions for which we are seeking the abstracts to be refereed. Speakers who are selected by the referees will not be paid to present a paper so we encourage participants to apply for funding elsewhere. The funding from the AHRC will be used to subsidise the cost of attending the conference to allow as many delegates as possible to join in. Attendance will cost £20 or £10 for students for both days, and includes lunch and refreshments. These fees will be waived for speakers/panel members. If you have any questions then please do not hesitate to contact us. Please send abstracts of no more than 500 words and a copy of your current CV by 31st January 2009 to: Sarah
Bodman and Tom Sowden |

Blue Notebook: Journal for artists' books Vol 3 No 1: October 2008 is
out now Essays
by: Robyn Sassen considers the apartheid army as an unexpected incubator
for artists’ books in South Africa; Dr Anne Hammond examines non-narrative
sequence in photographic books; Your Turn: experiments in narrative and
play is co-written by Patricia Allmer, Jonathan Carson, Rosie Miller and
John Sears, exploring the book as a site for game-playing and storytelling;
Kyoko Tachibana writes about the current state of book arts in Japan,
where graphic design is prevalent, and artists’ books are often
considered to be “designed” by artists; Danny Flynn shares
his experiments with laser cutting acrylic to replace wood and metal type
for letterpress print; and Tate Shaw’s Enfolded by Holes, considers
the implications of our relationship with the open book. |

| PEEP! QUARTERLY |
A new publication of art and writing. Open submission. No poetry. The intention
is to distribute it internationally, to create a community on paper. First
issue due February 2008. Each issue will be black and white, colour cover,
free inserts/gifts. The initial run is expected to be 200 copies and ideally
we want to double that with each subsequent issue. We have no funding, this
is all self-published. We do plan to sell the publication and any profit
is going to be put back into the project and the PEEP! gallery. All mail
art will be shown at PEEP! gallery in 2008: http://bobmilner.wordpress.com/2007/11/13/29/ Bob and Tom, 6 Savile Drive, Horbury WF4 6JP, England. www.milktwosugars.org / www.creaturemag.com |
