A Collaborative Artists' Book Project curated by Mara Caruso, Secretaria Municipal da Cultura - Coordenação de Artes Plásticas Atelier Livre da Prefeitura de Porto Alegre / RS / Brazil
Eight groups were invited to join the project, each group with a maximum of 15 artists, produced a collaborative book by making a one-of-a-kind page each to assemble as a set of folios and send to Brazil. The theme - Bread: history, types of breads, Bread and..., Bread of... etc. Each artist could make one single or double-page in any format of their choice. The maximum size was the book cover of 33 x 35 cm.
Artists' groups in Malaysia, Spain, Italy, Britain and two groups from cities in Brazil, have participated in the project. The collaborative books have been touring each of the venues since July 2009.
We sent a baker's dozen - 13 pages of bread for O Pão nosso de cada dia / Our daily bread from Bristol, UK.
