Details:

For the exhibition Conjuring for Beginners, I designed four 72-page books that were stacked in Project Arts Centre’s main gallery. I also co-edited and contributed eighteen drawings to one of the four; a reprint of H.P. Lovecraft’s The Colour Out of Space. The exhibition (and books) included work by Sam Keogh, Zbyněk Baladrán, Janice Kerbel, Susan Philipsz, Angela Fulcher, Ruth E. Lyons, Daniel Dewar & Grégory Gicquel. The books are as follows:

From the Press Release:

Amidst Conjuring for Beginners are piles of publications for the public to freely take away. Exposing the ideas behind the artworks throughout the entire building, or jettisoning away into the reflections of a philosopher, each of the publications has its own purpose. Stacked like worn pillars, the subjects of these humbly produced books range from works of literature and experimental writing to art works and a colouring-in book—inspiring children and adults to conjure the scene.
