Self Publishing Summer (talks only)
The following self publishers will be giving a short introduction to their practice, and bringing along some physical printed matter for you to flick through:
> Rahel Zoller: a London based artist and book arts and design specialist and educator. Rahel’s work questions the concept of what a book is by subverting, embracing, and interrogating the form and materiality of the book itself. Whilst also considering the interaction between user, creator and society. Since October 2015, Rahel has been a member of ABC (Artists’ Books Cooperative).
Her works have been published and exhibited internationally and are held in a number of collections such as the MoMA Artists’ Books collection in New York, Artists’ Books Tate Library Collection, the Booklet Library in Tokyo, the Museum of the Manuscripts of Mont-Saint-Michel in France, the Centre for Artists’ Publications in Weserburg Bremen Germany and at the archive at MACBA in Barcelona, Spain.
> Chris Printed This: a designer, illustrator and printmaker based in South Yorkshire. Their work explores Pop Culture, Queer Culture, Art History, and more esoteric themes, often centred on the occult. They utilise a range of different print methods in their work, from riso, to lino and sometimes etching.
> Ceremony Press: an independent publisher based in Manchester, establish May 2018, showcasing contemporary photography and various other forms of visual art. Collaboration is at the heart of Ceremony Press, giving emerging practitioners an opportunity to publish, using printed matter as a way of sharing ideas and presenting new works.
> Multitudes Zine Fest: made up of Heena Patel (one of the organisers of Over Here Zine Fest), Mish Green (a writer and zine maker) and Jasmine Gardner is (a visual artist and co-director of Happening In MCR), MZF is a space for zines which focuses on Black, brown and global majority, neurodivergent, disabled, working class and LGBTQ+ zine-makers.
