'Cumbrian Alchemy' Printing at Allander

Robert Williams and I went to Allander Print in Edinburgh to pass on press the Cumbrian Alchemy book that we have both been working on. The book is an outcome of an Arts Council funded project of the same name by Robert Wiliams and American artist Bryan McGovern Wilson. Allander were extremely attentive to our needs, making subtle adjustments to the colour. It was great to leave the printers having seen the cover and several plates printed to our satisfaction, stacked and ready for finishing. The book should be back from the printers in two weeks.

Front and Back Cover for 'unsmoothmaking' Publication

I have been working on unsmoothmaking, a publication that accompanies an exhibition at Transmission Gallery, Glasgow, and which documents a month long artists' residency in October, 2012, at the artist run initiative Lothringer13_Laden in Munich. Psykick Dancehall, Giuseppe Mistretta and Sarah Forrest presented new video works at Transmission; the exhibition opened with the launch of the publication on 15 June.

unsmoothmaking is a collaborative work that operates as a guidebook or manual for future spoken word performances, some of which were presented throughout the opening afternoon event. The publication was launched at Lothringer13_Laden on the 22 June.
