Second Century Press: artists' books from the School of Art, Edinburgh College of Art: London Art Book Fair, 2013

Whitechapel Gallery 13^th – 15^th September

Second Century Press was selected for the fifth year running to exhibit at this prestigious event, which is recognised internationally and attended by artists, publishers and audiences from around the world.

Students from across The School of Art were invited to submit books for consideration and a variety of examples were selected for inclusion on the stand. ECA’s stand showed books from the 2^nd Year Artists’ Book Elective Collaborative Print Project, The Peploe Project and a wide range from students who have chosen to use the artist’s book as an important element in their practice. ‘Forest Pitch’, Craig Coulthard’s publication recording his project that was part of the London 2012 Festival and Cultural Olympiad was also a valuable addition to the books on display.
The event offered students an excellent opportunity to showcase their work and for those attending to meet their audience and other exhibitors and to take advantage of the events programme associated with the fair which this year included talks by Luc Tuymans and Cornelia Parker.
