Entry by Bryony Lloyd / February 28, 2012

So it’s time for People Of Print to start giving a verbal hats off to the designers, artists and publishers that push the boundaries of print. It’s these people that ease the ever-growing anxieties about the survival of the publishing industry and we want to salute you. Le Cabinet de Curiosités de Mlle Clouette collates the found objects of artist Shelagh Cluett, collected during her travels . It’s nice to see something experimental in it’s form, with use of bold juxtapositions and inclusion of both riso and digital printing methods. London-based designers OK RM have a catalogue of beautifully produced print work under their belts, and this is no exception.

Video :: Mr Gresty

Entry by Marcroy / February 28, 2012

Julio & Miles short film: Mr Gresty
Coming from an animation and motion graphics background, they wanted to create something more stripped back. A documentary film about people and their creativity.
The short is a day-in-the-life style film about Mr Gresty. He was the perfect candidate as he is a super talented individual who is motivated beyond belief and has an interesting, and somewhat obsessive, habit of collecting things.

Private view: 1st March 2012, 7pm Picturehouse Hackney.
1st -21st March 2012 (free) Open everyday 11:30am – 11:30pm
