We are very pleased to invite you to the Launch of the publication What is an Artbook? 



SATURDAY 14th JULY 4pm - 7pm

An Art Book today can be seen to occupy various different positions including that of a piece of theory, a catalogue, a printed exhibition, a piece of art in itself, a supplement to a pre-existing piece. It can be a proposal for the future or an examination of the present or what has passed. “What is an Art Book?” will be an investigation of what an Art Book is in terms of material and conceptual concerns. This is an on going collaborative project that will be produced during the Artist Books Weekend held every year at The Mews Project Space. Artists, writers, curators, designers and other practitioners are invited to respond to the title of the project by contributing their interpretation of what an Art book means to them and their practice. Each contributor can propose text, drawings, photographs, sculpture, performance, audio recordings, video or any other concept/theory as long as it can ultimately be realised in A4 paper format and in black and white.

-Patrick Coyle-

"A. Alphabetes (from the Ancient Greek alphabētos, originating from the first two letters of the Greek alphabet, and diabetes, from the Ancient Greek diabainō, meaning 'to pass through', referring to the excessive amounts of urine produced by sufferers)."



-Bettina Wind-

Familiar stories (and other strange discoveries)
A slideshow performance.

Family photos draw a line between centre and margin. In the centre: an almost united family (only the photographer is missing). In the margin: some blurred landscape with a passer-by. Now let’s cross the line and see what happens…

Bettina Wind (Berlin) uses texts, mappings, and slideshows to create performative situations and platforms for exchange, such as Mapping Nomadic Structures (Brussels 2007), A Desiring Machine (Ballhaus Ost, Berlin 2008), and Strange Forms of Life (2. Aufgang, Berlin 2009).


-Adam Latham and Rich Cash-

with Ron Kaia, Veronika Rettich and Macks Faulkron (Spinal Richie).
