Abstract

2016 World Book Night collaborative book and video. Our set book this year was chosen by the artist John Bently, who also wrote and performed a tribute ‘sermon’ on the night. Forty artists read 'The Handmaid’s Tale' by Margaret Atwood, and then designed rubber stamp artwork for us to print as the 'Serena Joy' artist’s book/folio. 43 rubber stamps were sent in to us from: Denmark, France, Germany, Norway, Poland, Sweden and all over the UK.
Sixteen of us travelled to Halifax, where we printed the 43 artworks, each in an edition of 50 and assembled them into ‘Serena Joy’ boxes and made a short film in the evening.
The stampers present were: Helen Allsebrook, Janet Allsebrook, Mette-Sofie D. Ambeck, John Bently, Kate Bernstein, Sarah Bodman, Angie Butler, Si Butler, Nancy Campbell, Jeremy Dixon, Stephen Fowler, Mike Nicholson, Kathy Round, Gwen Simpson, Simon Smith and Linda Williams.
