6 August - 3 September 2011
The Paper Cooperative is an exhibition of participatory works that explore the ongoing use of paper in art, design and publishing. Presented through signage, art works, books and events. Visitors of all ages are welcome to take part in creative exploration, production and experimentation.
Paper Labour is a newly commissioned work by London based design collective Household. It develops their ongoing investigation into the relationship between objects and their users.
A collection of artists’ books, selected primarily from the University of West of England’s Centre for Fine Print Research archive and Permanent Gallery, Brighton, explore the variety of techniques employed in artist book making today. Displayed in a manner that invites varying
degrees of interaction, some are to be observed while others are to be handled. The contributions come from a number of artists including Tom Sowden, Emily Speed and Georgia Russell.
Daily workshops offer visitors the opportunity to try their hand at a range of paper based activities run by artists and designers. Employing a DIY approach, these aim to encourage resourcefulness to creatives of all ages. A temporary café will also offer space to participate in an informal selection of activities.
The Paper Cooperative provokes creative responses, relating to ideas surrounding cooperation, social interaction, sharing and play.
