Bookfair

p's & q's invite you to see artists' books surrounding a historic printing press at The Science Museum for the Watercolour and Works on Paper Fair next week.

For a last minute preview invitation or free entry ticket please email christine.tacq@talk21.com

Hatbox

These books (see also March 2011), created for now as 'one of a kind', just keep evolving. The larger version has extra folding. The series is inspired by the way objects in a museum tell a different story each time they are rearranged.

Poetry

These pages will start my next book. The plan is to end it with the poem by Emily Dickinson, which starts "Hope is the thing with feathers." (It was also the answer to my entry for the Thame Arts and Literature postcard trail...see September 2011)

City Cypher: Vienna, the fourth title in Leonie's award-winning series, is to be launched in her debut London solo show which opens Thursday 1st December.

Leonie will also be showing new prints from her ongoing 'Playing with Matches' project. The exhibition is on until 8th December at Beach London on Cheshire Street (just off Brick Lane).

New Books

UK Fine Press Book Fair 2011 with new books:

'Hatbox: A Storm of Stars' and 'City Cypher: Vienna' were shown alongside colour printed pages from Christine's new book to be published in July 2012.

The Oxford Fine Press Book Fair - this weekend, 5th & 6th November

This was the p's & q's in 2009. If you have never been to the Oxford Fine Press Book Fair before, it's just the most unmissable opportunity to turn pages. If you have, come and find us again in the same place as last year to see new and exciting books.

Exhibitions and The Big Draw

The above print will be displayed in a shop in Thame during Thame Arts and Literature Festival. It is part of a poetry postcard trail, where you have to guess which two lines of poetry it refers to.

Another festival fringe event is this year's Big Draw held at Thame Town Cricket Club on Sunday October 16th from 11am - 3pm. The Drawing and Concrete Poetry Olympics includes two exhibitions and the following events:

11am - 12noon 'Catching movement' figure drawing (after Muybridge)

11am - 3pm 'Window drawings'

1pm - 3pm 'Pencil bowling, simple print and animated drawing fun for everyone' (after Bob Cobbing

Join us for tea at 3.30pm at Thame Town Cricket Club where the winner of the poetry postcard trail will be announced.
