As well as teaching bookmaking and making our own
experimental bookworks we collaboratively curate a yearly
international and experimental artists' book exhibition.
This is open to all. Our exhibitions are ‘not for profit’
– we do them because
we love books.

Our previous themes have been – Re: 2008, ABC 2007,
Meeting in the Middle 2006 and Full Circle/Random Journey 2005.
Our last exhibition (2009) was on the theme of closure.

The theme for our 2010 exhibition is (e)motive.

The exhibition will take place at artworks-mk, UK, where last year's closure exhibition was held. The exhibition will open to the public on Saturday 28th August (10am-12noon) and then Tuesday 31st August until 24th September 2010. Open on weekdays (except Bank Holidays) 10am - 4pm and Saturdays 10am -12noon.
