31 years of Piece of Paper Press: artists’ books, artworks and ephemera, 1994–2025

About

Piece of Paper Press is an ongoing artists’ book series founded by author Tony White in 1994. The project was designed to address the economic conditions of the period, but has continued unchanged: a lo-fi, sustainable format used to commission, publish and distribute limited editions of new writings and visual works by artists and writers. Each book is made from a single A4 sheet, printed both sides then folded, stapled and trimmed by hand. Piece of Paper Press editions are always given away free.

For Matt’s Gallery, White presents a vitrine-based display of all Piece of Paper Press titles to date alongside a wealth of artwork, ephemera and clippings from the project’s archive. Contributors include 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, Joanna Walsh and Tony White.

The forty-sixth title from Piece of Paper Press, Tones by Andrew Mottershead, will be released during the exhibition run.
