21st July – 21st August 2005
Book Works
In 2004 we celebrated our 20th anniversary by publishing Put About: A Critical Anthology on Independent Publishing edited by Maria Fusco, with Ian Hunt, and re- redesigned our website, making available all our publications for secure on-line ordering, as well as providing information on Book Works, our forthcoming publications, on-line projects and resources and fact sheets for all aspects of self-publishing and distribution
This year we have continued innovative projects, publishing as part of Book Works Opus projects: Bureau for the Centre for the Study of Surrealism and its Legacy is published as part of Book Works Opus Projects (Opus 4) by Book Works and The AHRB Research Centre for the Studies of Surrealism and its Legacies in association with Alchemy/The Manchester Museum, The University of Manchester; Folk Archive: Contemporary Popular Art from the UK by Jeremy Deller and Alan Kane (Opus 5).
Our first Chap Books— a new series of artists’ books: short treatises/chapters/pamphlet style publications, addressing the crossover and connections between various art forms and other disciplines—were published in autumn 2004: Airdrop by Jennifer Gabrys and Ring Mechanism by Neil Chapman. The series continues with Suitcase Woman Is Missing Body by Eva Weinmayer, and Lost In Space by Andrew Dodds to be published in summer 2005
Sara Wajid is our latest guest editor. She has commissioned two new books with young artists Yara el Sherbini, and Usman Saeed and writer Sukdev Sandhu, which form part of Scape Specific, a new project which explores the evolution of a Muslim vernacular in the British landscape. Sheik-n-vac by Yara El-Sherbini and a collaborative book by Usman Saaed and Sukdev Sandhu will be published in summer 2005.
