https://www.impact11.hk/application/en/submission/submission-nueozxvh/
There is an introduction video, then each book is displayed individually as 24 films that are organised alphabetically.
Each film is between 1-3 mins (approx) and you can just click to watch.
The Homepage for IMPACT is here: https://www.impact11.hk/en/
Via the 'menu' button you can gain access to parts of the conference that you do not need a conference pass to view: Exhibitions, Demonstrations and Open Portfolios etc. Click on the menu button (top left), the new page will show IMPACT 11 with a list of: conference schedule, programmes, passes, between the lines etc. Go to the exhibitions (which is open to public without a conference pass).
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 (or have the potential to use) letterpress printing techniques with 24 works housed in a box. 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.
Participants:
David Armes, Angie Butler, Sheena Calvert, Pauline Clancy, Thomas A Clark & Laurie Clark, George Cullen, Theresa Easton, Hazel Grainger, Lucy Guenot, Julie Johnstone, Hilary Judd and Lucy May Schofield, Gen Harrison, Tim Hopkins, Erica Van Horn and Simon Cutts, Leonard McDermid, Rachel Marsh, Andrew Morrison, Linda Parr, Alistair Peebles, Mary Plunkett, Nora Schmel and Lena Wurz, Cathey Webb, Elizabeth Willow, and Phillipa Wood.
