Posted/Unposted - British Isles
ABOUT:
POSTED/UNPOSTED•British Isles was launched at IMPACT 11 International Print Festival 20-25.04.2021 as a digital exhibition hosted by Hong Kong Open Printshop. www.impact11.hk/application/en/submission/submission-nueozxvh/
POSTED/UNPOSTED•British Isles is co-organised by Imi Maufe (Codex Polaris) and Angie Butler (ABPress, Bristol, UK) and presents 28 artists, poets, printers and publishers from the British Isles who use work with the concept of artists book and use letterpress printing techniques. The constraints for this Posted/Unposted project are as follows: all work must contain an element of letterpress, address the idea of a pamphlet, be contained within a standard C5 (229 x 162 mm) envelope and printed in an edition of forty. Envelope and content are to be considered as equally important parts of the art works.
The first Posted/Unposted was produced by Imi Maufe in collaboration with Lina Nordenström (GG Studio, Uttersberg, Sweden) for the first Nordic Letterpress Collaboration, a book art project from the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden) with special emphasis on letterpress printing. The project’s aim was to create a network and a focus for letterpress and book art practices, which were not so widely utilised in this area of Northern Europe in 2016.
