Cardboard Folly (Online): ISSN 2044-978X
Cardboard Folly will be a non-profit series of publications, published annually, that will sit somewhere between an artist’s book and journal. The core of the publication is an interest in the use of architecture and inhabited space in art.
Each issue will have a theme, the first being ‘The Fold’. Artists, writers, poets, architects and others have been invited to make an editioned work in response to this. Housed in a screen-printed cardboard box, each cover will be custom-made to fit the contributions in that particular issue.
Cardboard Folly will be available online and also in print. Each issue will be printed in an edition of 45, with all contributors receiving a copy and some copies archived and reserved for exhibiting. The remaining copies will be for sale, with all profits going back into the publication. There will be a discount available for libraries and collections wishing to purchase a copy.
The first issue will be launched at the Bluecoat, Liverpool during Liverpool Biennial 2010 and will be on display there from 21st October - 14th November. The ‘Fold’ issue will also be displayed at Manchester Artists’ Book Fair on 6th November 2010 at Manchester Metropolitan University and at the BABE artists’ book event during April 2011 at the Arnolfini, Bristol.
