Book Studio

For anyone into Mail Art projects here’s a fun print one:

Field Study presents: WIPE - Light-weight bookwork

Produce a print edition of 40 on toilet paper (any type). It’s an open theme, any print technique allowed, including rubber stamps and typewriting. (No organic materials or traces allowed!) Max size: 14 x 11 cm. The sheets are stapled at one side, at the left, so take this into account when you work out your page design.
This is an ongoing project, with no deadline. The co-ordinator waits until 20 participants have sent editions in, then compiles 40 booklets and sends each artist a copy. The other copies are sold to institutions and artist-book collectors, and some are given away as gifts.

Field Study is a non-profit organization and all monies raised are ploughed back into the Field for future projects.

Address: Field Study, P.O. Box 1838, Geelong VIC 3220 Australia.

[I have sent a few editions off to this project. Its been going for ages, by the looks of it, and has a lot of international participants. The first time I sent one off, the booklet was #35 in the series, and that was a couple of years ago! You can print, sew, paste, and type. It gets pretty addictive, and it totally changes the way you look at toilet paper when you walk through the supermarket...]
