Formats for Books: Hyphen Press and design publishing is an exhibition at International Project Space, which is at the Birmingham Institute of Art & Design. Here’s what it’s all about:
This exhibition focuses on a fundamental factor in making and publishing books: format. What size should the pages of a book be given? The question raises all the considerations of publishing. Who will read this work? And where? How will it be made? With what paper? By which printer? On which press? How does it connect to the other books we publish? What is the happiest size for these pictures and this text?
To see it for yourself, head to International Project Space before 8th May, and to catch a talk with typographer, publisher, critic, and author of numerous articles in the field of visual communication and typography, Robin Kinross, get to the exhibition on Wednesday 5 May between 5.30 and 7pm.
Ummm… would love to go and see this but neither of the linked pages have details of *where* it’s being held, ie, a physical address!! Help?
Here’s the address, hope you get to make it down.
