book ready

Last week the book we made within the Art Project Bortom Orden [Beyond Words] - about the quality concept within fine art - came back from the printer. Cecilia has done a marvellous job with the graphic design! It feels good that yet another project is finished (I was the editor)

about making books

Yesterday I received a book I had ordered; Books, Boxes and Portfolios - Binding, Construction and Design Step-by-Step by Franz Zeier. It seems even better than I had hoped (very instructional and pedagogic) and is going to be my reward during Christmas. For some time now I've been dreaming about binding books and I've always been crazy about boxes,

This week I'm working 100% on a totally different kind of book and here it is all about content: a 32 pages book for the project Beyond Words [Bortom Orden] - about the quality concept within art. It's my responsibility to put everything together, polish the language and write the introduction. I quite enjoy it (I love writing) - which makes me realize even more how much I have hated all the coordinating and administration I've done for the project. So I've promised myself to not do any coordinating or administration at all in 2011 unless it is for my own art practice. After I made myself that promise I got so happy...

Beyond Words [Bortom Orden]

Yesterday we arranged the second seminar (at Skövde Konsthall) within the Art Project Beyond Words - Bortom Orden - about the concept of quality within Fine Art. Very interesting discussions - and differing views. I've been responsible for coordinating the seminars and tonight we will be at Länsmuseet Halmstad. In November we will arrange 2 more seminars (Stockholm and Göteborg) - if you are interested in participating! See more details here on how to participate (in Swedish only).

... I'm a bit tired now as it was a long day yesterday - I might get back to you later with some thoughts (mine and others) about quality ...
