The Last Chapter is a bookstore/gallery in Sheffield, UK which is featuring four artists books from the collection at Bank Street Arts in their shop window this autumn in conjunction with The Sheffield International Artists Book Prize. The 2013 Artists Book Prize will feature over 450 artists books from all over the world. As well as this exhibition, Bank Street Arts are showcasing artists books in a number of public spaces like libraries and hotel foyers to expose artists books to a wider community.
I entered Lost in a Million Dead End Streets in the 2nd Sheffield Artists Book Prize in 2009. It was not compulsory, but Bank Street Arts ask artists if they would be prepared to donate their book to build the collection. I did so and now my book has been chosen to be the first one displayed at The Last Chapter. One of the nice things about having books in collections is that other people start exhibiting your books for you and they reach a much wider audience.
I have entered one of my Book Art Object books called Unchartered Democracy
into the 2013 Sheffield Artists Book Prize which will be on display at Bank Street Arts in Sheffield from the 5th October to 30th November.
