Arnolfini, in collaboration with The Centre for Fine Print Research at the University of the West of England, Bristol, held the first Bristol Artist's Book Event at Arnolfini. Fifty stands of artists’ books from 62 local, national and international artists. Artists and publishers showed works from: the UK and EIRE, Poland, Germany, Republic of Korea, USA and Canada. 6498 visitors came to Arnolfini over the weekend. We intend to collaborate on this as a bi-annual event, and would like to thank all the exhibiting artists, publishers, staff and visitors for making it such a wonderful weekend.
Free ‘book surgeries’ for artists with advisors from Book Works and UWE, Bristol, and walking tours of the event with Linda Newington - Winchester School of Art Library, University of Southampton and Tanya Peixoto - founder of bookartbookshop ran over the weekend. Bookworks from Arnolfini’s own archived collection were also on display on the second floor.
