The first issue, "The Fold", is complete and has been on display at the Bluecoat in Liverpool and has also had an outing to the Manchester Artists' Book Fair. The next planned outing will be the BABE (Bristol Artists' Book Event) on April 31st/May 1st at the Arnolfini Gallery, Bristol. The free PDF featuring all the work will be online very soon, but currently orders for print issues are being assembled and sent out. Each copy takes a couple of hours to make up so this has taken some time! The contributing artists are next in line to receive their copies. Mercy have named Cardboard Folly as one of their top five collaborative projects on Creative Times, which is lovely. The research for issue one was done during a residency at the Cooperative space (of which Mercy was a partner in) during Liverpool Biennial.
There are a few photographs of work from the first issue below. Copies are available at £70, with a reduced rate of £45 for institutions and library collections. There are fewer than ten copies left to buy, so get your order in soon if you'd like one!
