Bristol Artist’s Book Event 2021
With restrictions due to Covid, we are hosting a ‘lost weekend’ version of BABE over the weekend of 17 – 18 April 2021 as an interim BABE in the run up to our usual larger event which we now plan to hold at Arnolfini in 2022.
For 2021, we will be showcasing videos made by artists about their books in Australia, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Japan, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia, Sweden, the UK and USA. These will be shown online and in the auditorium. Arnolfini will showcase selected artists’ books in the reading room, host public workshops, interventions and pop-ups. Our aim is for the public to be able to visit over the weekend. We’ll also be organising some participatory events online so watch this space and check out Arnolfini’s website in April.

"28th July 2020 in the house-museum named after M.E. Saltykov-Shchedrin opened a new international exhibition called Love and Music in the format of the Artist's Book. The exhibition opened with a delay of four months due to the pandemic.
About 40 Russian and sixteen foreign artists took part in it. New names and countries appeared among foreign participants. These are Lee Sherman and Ros Simms (Great Britain), N. Goman (Ireland), Dadanautik (Germany), A.Kekesh (Guam Island, USA), E.Erte (Turkey), G.Thomas (Holland),
O.K.Gavriliu (Romania), E.Giens (Hungary) and R.Rubanik (Belarus).
The project was also supported by our permanent participants: S.Bodman, E.Schatz, J.Batey, T.Söborg,
S.Volosyuk.
Last year's cooperation in the Republic of Tatarstan gave a positive result and increased the number of participants. Lada Ayudag (Ayupova), Timur Khairullin, Victor Timofeev, Tatyana Shatalina, Marina Abramova, F. Kazakova and others showed their works. As always, Kirov artists are participating in the exhibition: G. Balabanova, T.Korshunova, A.Gruzdev, V.Burov.Unfortunately, because of the virus, students from two colleges of Kirov and the University of Kazan did not take part, since in March they were allowed to go home, as well as some of our permanent participants from other cities in Russia and abroad. However, this did not affect the overall quality of the exhibition as a whole and the level of works, most of which were made in one copy and are unique.
Attached is a video clip about the opening of the exhibition. I express my deep gratitude to all participants for their support of the project and wish them new creative success.
Valeri Burov, curator of the exhibition."
