Earth Station launches with AMBruno in London
I am happy to announce my new book Earth Station, made as part of AMBruno’s project ‘Intervals’ which will launch at Tate Britain in London this week (see below).
The book uses intervals between images found on postcards from the 1950s and 1960s, when mass tourism began to grow, as a playful method of critique – creating brief visual stories about how humans changed nature. See more images here (though because of the intervals, this book needs to be held in hand: without intervals there is no story).
Edition limited to 50 copies (not numbered), inkjet printed and wire bound. 40 pages, 14 full color illustrations, size 21,5 cm wide x 17,2 cm high.
Priced at € 45 plus shipping. Order through my webshop or by sending an email. If ordering, note that the book will be shipped as of next week. The book will also be available at the multiple book fairs AMBruno participates in during 2024/5.
This Friday October 18, AMBruno will present an afternoon of talks at Tate Britain around ‘Intervals’. A panel conversation with AMBruno artists and past project selectors, including Gustavo Grandal Montero, Elizabeth James, Sophie Loss, Richard Price, Chris Taylor and Cally Trench, will discuss ‘Intervals’ in the context of the group’s history. Follow this link for the details. It is free to visit this.
Next week, AMBruno will also show the project at the Small Publisher’s Fair in Conway Hall (October 25 and 26). Yay!
About AMBruno
The artists’ association AMBruno focuses on developing and promoting the book as a key medium in art. Founded in 2008, the group’s members change with each new project, where artists create books based on a specific theme each year.
In 2024, an open call invited artists to create books exploring the theme ‘Intervals.’ This could refer to an intervening time, a pause or break, a gap between two things, or the difference in pitch between two sounds. Fourteen artists were selected for this project by Sarah Bodman, an artist and scholar from the Centre for Print Research at UWE Bristol. The artists are Karen Blake, Helen Douglas, David Howes, Julie Johnstone, Philip Lee, Sophie Loss, John McDowall, Alastair Noble, Redell Olsen, Ximena Pérez Grobet, Peter Rapp, Rachel Smith, Elisabeth Tonnard and Maria White.
Inexistent Books at I Never Read
Inexistent Books is currently taking place at I Never Read, Art Book Fair Basel. Curated by Jan Steinbach, it questions the invisible in times of contemporary hypervisibility and explores the utopian potential of the art book. To this end artists have submitted publications for the ephemeral Book Shop that deal with non-existence or the outright refusal to exist at all. Among them are works by: Bia Bittencourt, Cassie Thornton, Christiane Blattmann, Claudia De La Torre, Elisabeth Tonnard, Fiona Banner, Florence Jung, H.P. Blavatsky & Sun Ra and others.

Printing Plant Art Book Fair in Amsterdam
From November 23 to 25 I’m participating in the first edition of the Printing Plant Art Book Fair. I’m sharing a table, or rather a vertical panel, with Joachim Schmid and will be bringing my most recent publications including Indirections, De wolk, The Plan, and one of the last two copies of the special edition of Song of Myself.
The fair is initiated and organised by Looiersgracht 60. The unique housing and history of Looiersgracht 60 is utilised to correspond to the etiquette of the fair. Prior to its current use as a not-for-profit exhibition centre for art, design and architecture, Looiersgracht 60 was home to a cardboard and paper factory that also printed pamphlets, posters, limited-editions and cards for artists and museums. The building thus has a long-standing connection with the artist community in Amsterdam, making it the ideal location for ‘Printing Plant’. By reiterating its past and previous function, Looiersgracht 60 conceives of a new platform for printed matter. Over 70 selected independent publishers, antiquarian dealers, artists, galleries and printmakers will be showcasing their works.
Printing Plant is part of the official programme of Amsterdam Art Weekend 2018. The opening will take place on Friday November 23. Over the course of the weekend, the fair will be complemented by a programme of talks, book launches, performances, signings, and workshops for children.
More information is available here.
Opening hours:
Friday 23 November 12:00-21:00 (opening 17:00-21:00 with performance + live music)
Saturday 24 November 12:00-20:00
Sunday 25 November 12:00-20:00
