Hi Louise, congratulations for your phd!! I don't know how consistent this would be with your research , but i recently published a post on my blog about Argos catalogues and the rituality of shopping: http://lindatoigo.wordpress.com/2012/04/28/livingforless/

Hope that you enjoy your new adventure!

Hi all,

It's been a while since I've been on this ning but enjoying looking through all the work. Anyway, I wanted to ask your help as I've just been awarded a place to study for a PhD in Artist Books. I'm focusing on books as ritualised objects so wondered if anyone had any links/examples to share.

Thank you in advance,

Lou x

Sounds like an interesting exhibition. I'm not london based, just north in Herts. Would be interested to learn more about the exhibition, if you believe my work relevant.Please click here

Hi Fion,

I'm working on an altered book project at the moment - don't have pictures as of yet. I'm based in south of England but can do London. Do you have any more information about the exhibition? I'd be interested, if my work is relevant.

I'm looking for artists who make altered books and are based in London for an exhibition entitled 'The Written City'. If you are interested please be in touch with images.

If one is exploring the iconography of the book - making text based pieces is going to be very difficult if one is working in a cross cultural context. I was dismayed at how much work was linguistically specific and therefore lacking in any cross cultural relevance at the Venice Biennale this year. The significance of the 'book' as an idea and a physical object goes way beyond one language, one culture and one aesthetic. The altered books group has the potential to address this in a meaningful way and I would like to see that happen.
