Paperstock

Paperstock was an event held on Monday evening,  hosted by the The Curch of London at their Leonard Street gallery, 71a. It involved a series of short presentations by three speakers talking about why paper and the way it is used is important to them. This was followed by questions from panel mediator, Simon Esterson (publisher of Eye magazine) and questions from the audience.  The panel consisted of  Roy Killen, partner of Push Print, paper artist Chrissie Macdonald (from the Peepshow collective) and me!

It was a great evening which was amazingly interesting and diverse both in terms of the people giving the presentations and the topics covered. It was oversubscibed and totally sold out! - a total of about 45 in the audience.

Paperstock

Next Monday (24th September) The Church of London is hosting a panel discussion called Paperstock. Together with other industry personalities, I have been asked to contribute on why paper and print are still an important medium of communication and the different directions in which the industry is heading.

 

 

The Church of London recently opened their basement gallery, shop and events space – 71a in June this year and this is one of a monthly programme of creative-oriented evening events. The idea is to encourage discussion and knowledge-sharing amongst the thriving creative scene, from London and beyond. Rather than the usual showcase events, they want guests to speak on topics important to them, and that the audience can learn from. The September event falls within the London Design Festival 2012 and tickets are available (at a very reasonable £6) on the following link:
