At the London Art Book Fair at The Whitechapel Gallery this year Leonie launched the third in her series of architectural city guides, City Cypher: Berlin.
This second edition of Sonnet XLIII with a dos a dos binding was inspired by the e-motion exhibition which it was intended for. It will be shown for the first time at the Whitechapel fair. Above is the book being printed.
October's issue of Art Review magazine includes details of Leonie Lachlan's City Cypher books. The third in the award winning series will be shown for the first time at the London Art Book Fair at the Whitechapel Gallery. Images of the new book will follow shortly.
Inspired by the colours created by acid, I have printed the second of the three Blake plates in an edition of 25 colour prints which I am calling 'Illuminated Printing' as each one differs slightly.
The p’s & q’s press prints mainly intaglio and letterpress books, also small books using new technologies, always in search of more expressive combinations of image and text. Recent publications include collaborations, translations, anthologies and other collections. The press was established in 1999. The first book by the artist was The Monkeys’ Dream (1991).
Christine Tacq completed a BA at Kingston College of Art and was awarded a French government Fine Art Scholarship to spend the following year etching at the Atelier run by Johnny Friedlaender in Paris.
Christine continued printmaking at Bristol Artspace. A residency in Milton Keynes resulted in the publication of her first artists book.
Leonie Lachlan and occasional other artists also create books with p's & q's Press.
The p's & q's Press is based in Thame, Oxfordshire. Contact christine.tacq@talk21.com
