Thursday 27th April | 10am – 4pm

I’m excited to announce the second annual event inspired by the Little Magazines, Alternative Press & Poetry Store Collections held at UCL. Organised by the Slade School of Fine Art. I’ve been working alongside Liz Lawes, UCL’s Art Librarian and Lesley Sharpe, Teaching Fellow in Print to organise this and it’s going to be a great event for anyone interested in Small Press and Independent artists’ publications.

Exhibition

The Small Press Project coincides with an exhibition of publications inspired by the UCL Collection made by students and staff at the Slade School of Fine Art. The exhibition will run from 26th April – 28th April in the North Lodge, Main Entrance of UCL on Gower Street, and will be open between 11.00am - 5.00pm daily.

SWAP Edition is a growing collection of artistʼs multiples curated by Robin Tarbet made as editions in a wide range of materials from casts, prints, to mixed media, video and photographs. The aim is to collaborate with artists to explore the process of making editions, and forge an alternate non-commercial socially driven platform to enable swapping and collecting original artworks between artists.
