Surplus to requirement

Sowden, T

Abstract

Tom Sowden invited to curate a selection of Bristol-based book artists’ works for a collaborative project with the Righton Press group at Manchester Metropolitan University.

Each artist produced a page to print, and a ‘sketch’ page on the theme of Surplus to Requirement. In Manchester the group worked around an unused herbarium collection, and in Bristol, works were made around a collection of books rescued from Bookbarn.

The book is being edited, printed and published in an edition of 250 by the Righton Press and will be launched at The London Art Book Fair at Whitechapel 25-27 September 2010.
