NO:BOOKS presentation at SUPALIFE KIOSK Berlin.
Dear art lovers, art enthusiasts, and friends of printmaking,
We are delighted to invite you to our NO:BOOKS presentation at SUPALIFE KIOSK Berlin.
On Friday, September 5, 2024, we will proudly present the publications created so far within the NO:BOOKS publishing platform. You can look forward to “No Drone Zone” (a silkscreen book) and “No Solo” (a linocut book)!
For these book projects, around 24 artists joined forces to produce high-quality print graphics using screen printing and linocut, shaping them into two original graphic books.
We would love to celebrate this special moment with you!
Yours,
The No Books Collective
About NO:BOOKS
NO:BOOKS is a publishing platform for the collective production of original graphic books. At the same time, NO:BOOKS is a collective of artists from different disciplines and backgrounds who work together to realize original graphic works. Our focus lies on the craftsmanship of analog printing techniques—such as screen printing and relief printing—applied to the creation of artistic book projects.
In fall 2023, “No Drone Zone” became the very first NO:BOOK, bringing together 12 artistic perspectives on the object of the drone. Entirely hand-printed in three colors, the book combines futuristic-dystopian scenarios and mythical references with formal and abstract interpretations of the principles of “surveillance and technology.” At a performance during the exhibition at Galerie KUB in Leipzig, the finished books were even “signed” by a drone.
In 2024, the second round of NO:BOOKS once again brought together a new selection of artists, this time focusing on the technique of relief printing/linocut. The works, printed in three colors, pushed the limits of the medium through experimentation. “No Solo” unites individual artistic positions with collaborative works in which pairs of artists responded to one another to create joint prints.
At the heart of NO:BOOKS lies the spirit of collaboration. It is an attempt to bring together individual approaches, styles, and perspectives within publishing concepts and to create spaces for artistic dialogue. Each artist benefits from the energy and expertise of the whole group. In this same spirit, we are already preparing the third publication. But first, it’s time to celebrate the books that have already come to life!
Opening reception: September 5, 7:00 PM
Exhibition runs until September 26, 2025
