Scope and Contents

Slimvolume Poster Publication 2005 consists of posters on different media and printed on different paper types. The posters were done by several artists. One of the contributors, Josh Smith is featured in the on-line Saatchi Gallery. As a loose bound edition, the publication exists in multiple contexts - the works are placed in the gallery, the street, the archive, on the bookshelf, and can be discarded or disseminated further once received. The recipient of each package is free to separate the works or keep them as a complete set. A quantity of the numbered and signed copies of the publication will be split, with the component parts installed at sites in London and Norwich. In its form at ®edux, the works will be presented as a traditional exhibition, with each print framed and mounted on the wall. The launch will enable visitors to witness the project within the research space on London's Commercial Street, while recipients will be able to collect their copies on the night. The exhibition will run during December and provide the opportunity for visitors to see the edition in this form for a limited period. Slimvolume Poster Publication 2005 is funded by Arts Council England and Norwich School of Art and Design. Of the 150 sets of posters, 25 were for sale and the rest were distributed to the contributors and individuals, galleries, museums, and archives selected by the contributors. The Sackner Archive was selected to receive this portfolio of unbound posters. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
