September 2011 - February 2012
Welcome to Bookmarks IX. Over the last eight years, the Bookmarks series of free artwork distribution has visited 82 venues in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Singapore, South Korea, Turkey the UK and USA. 316 artists have contributed 31,600 bookmarks to the nine projects to date.
Bookmarks IX includes 37 artists from Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, the UK and USA. All of the bookmarks have been archived in the gallery section here, for viewing online with each artist’s contact details, so you can visit their websites and see more of their book works. We have a lovely selection of bookmarks produced with photography, print, letterpress, rubber stamps, stitch, collage, tea, watercolour, discarded library cards, folded books etc.
Many thanks to the artist Hazel Grainger who was a contributor and also our brilliant bookmarks helper this year. Hazel has studiously counted, stamped, scanned, sorted, collated and packed the artists’ sets and venue sets.

If you have found one of Mary Pulen’s bookmarks please visit her website www.marypullen.co.uk and follow the links to the Facebook page ‘Bookshelf’, as Mary is aiming to create a mini community there where ‘Bookshelf’ bookmark holders meet and the ten complete images come together once again.

2012 will see the 10th anniversary of the Bookmarks project so we will do something special for Bookmarks X (2012-2013) with a public display of all 10 sets. Bookmarks X is full with 50 artists, but we have spaces from 2013 onwards. If you would like to join future bookmarks projects as an artist, or as a host venue and receive a free distribution box, please get in touch. Sarah.Bodman@uwe.ac.uk
