Abstract
A collaborative artist book project commissioned by Pamela Crowe of 23 Press, designed by Chaosmos Studio (Joseph Haigh and Helena Gregory).
If you could print a book, what would it be about?
This question is the start, middle, and unfinished ending of this book, a book of ideas for books.
In early 2022 a group of individuals in Leeds came together to explore book publishing. The idea was to find out how a book could become by learning about the various tasks and roles involved in running a Small Press. We met in person on Thursdays at Rainbow Junktion café at All Hallows’ Church on Regent Terrace, LS6. We also met online. We produced a call out across the city of Leeds inviting people to submit either 150 words of text or an image that conveyed an idea for a book and then we worked with designers Chaosmos Studio to create the book that you hold.
What happens to a book of book ideas?
We don’t know yet, that’s the next part of the story.
Supported by Leeds Community Foundation and Arts Council England as part of Leeds Year of Culture 2023.
