Last chance to see POPP show, closes Sunday!

It’s your last chance to see the Piece of Paper Press archival display at Matt’s Gallery, in Nine Elms, London! The show is open 12-6pm until Sunday 23 March, and features work by artists and writers including Ian Bourn, Pavel Büchler, Peter Bunting, Barbara Campbell, Mikey Cuddihy, Stevie Deas, Joolz Denby, Tim Etchells, Stephanie Fawbert, Rose Frain, Jane Gifford, Bruce Gilchrist, Halford + Beard, M John Harrison, David Hayden, Christopher Hewitt, Steven Hull, Sharon Kivland, Liliane Lijn, Elizabeth Magill, Andrea Mason, Penny McCarthy, Susana Medina, Katharine Meynell, Michael Moorcock, Andrew Mottershead, Courttia Newland, James Pyman, Borivoj Radaković, Sheena Rose, Pete Smith, Gordana Stanišić, Selina Thompson, Suzanne Treister, Alison Turnbull, and Joanna Walsh.

This weekend is also your last chance to see the brilliant ‘No Dimensions’ by Katie Cuddon, which runs concurrently in the main gallery.

One gallery visitor yesterday said that both shows complement one another, that they both felt somehow ‘undone’. This was high praise indeed – thank you!

Here’s what The TLS said:

‘Best, then, to head to the exhibition running at Matt’s Gallery in Vauxhall . . . Comprising two vitrines’ worth of display copies, proof copies, correspondence, and related miscellanea, it could offer inspiration to anyone who wishes to experiment with their own variations on this “simple, miniature and archaic” format…’

The response from gallery visitors, too, whether the many student groups, passers-by, gallery goers, readers, or artists’ book enthusiasts has been incredible – with many people spending an hour or more reading, thinking, chatting… Thanks all!

This weekend is also your last chance to get these two beautiful new artists’ books by Katie Cuddon, and Andrew Mottershead, which are free to gallery visitors as a numbered set, while stocks last.

I’ve been privileged to have been able to spend time in the gallery, where I’ve been invigilating every other Sunday – using this opportunity to catalogue the archive. I’ll be there again this Sunday 23 March, the last day of the show.

Matt’s Gallery, 6 Charles Clowes Walk, London SW11 7AN. Open Weds-Sun, 12-6pm, to 23 March.
