scissorspaperstone was a one-day artist’s book and multiples fair which showcased work by over 80 contemporary artists, book artists and small presses at londonprintstudio.
Sarah held a free, book arts surgery with bookable slots during the day.
Soprano Janis Kelly performed ‘Lied’ from Movement II of Felix Mendelssohn’s, ‘Vaterland, in deinen Gauen’, from Festgesang zum Gutenbergfest (1840) in the studio. The music was commissioned for the Gutenbergfest held in Leipzig in 1840 to celebrate the invention of printing. Buchdruckerkunst = art of printing.
Proboscis also presented Diffusion:
-
“Diffusion is a free
publishing format which we developed in 1999 to help us find new ways
of publishing creative work and reaching new audiences using the internet
as a distribution mechanism for handmade paper publications. Last year we began testing our experimental 'publishing-on-demand' platform, the Diffusion Generator,
which is designed to enable people (without design skills or access to high-end DTP) to make their own Diffusion eBooks & StoryCubes.”
