Corridor8 issue3, Part 2
The new edition of Corridor8 focuses on artist-led spaces, seeking to discover the role they play in their local arts ecologies, exploring the benefits and challenges of their Northern, urban locations and discussing their ambitions for the future.
Continuing the journal’s in-depth look at cities in the region, this issue focuses on a profile of Sheffield by Robert Clark, arts correspondent at The Guardian. Clark has written from his perspective as an artist working in Sheffield for 25 years, observing the changes, and the work of other artists and galleries in the city.

Edel und Geck
Fine & Dandy [commonly known as Edel & Geck], a non-collaborative formed between dust and Mick Marston. Sometime it doesn’t quite work. We disagree, overreach and fall out.
Edel und Geck are part of the Sheffield Pubscrawl, curated by Pete Mckee. Friday 20 January.

Scans of the recent FEAST publication dust designed and produced for curator and researcher Laura Mansfield.
An imperial format based on historical cookbooks — the publication is both digital and litho printed, using different paper stocks to distinguish certain features.
A great project to be a part of.

COPY Unfold — A recent publication dust designed for Critical Writing Collective. This unsuitable format; a B2 print, with silkscreen wrap. The publication cannot be read in the conventional manner, forcing the reader to break the format when discovering the content.
Critical Writing Collective is a network and platform for art writing and critical dialogue based in Yorkshire. Initiated by Leeds based writer Joanna Loveday and Sheffield based artist Charlotte A Morgan.
COPY Unfold suggests a tension between the resolved and unresolved, drafted and rewritten, finished and unfinished through works which explore, respond to or enact in their own form a state of being ‘in process’.

Tonight is the launch of a recent publication dust have designed.
FEAST is a series of publications presenting contemporary visual art and film works that explore our relationship with food as a social event, a marker of identity, a product of history and a commodity for trade. The publication combines articles on contemporary arts practices with recipes, film histories and literary narratives.
FEAST is an initiative by curator and researcher Laura Mansfield. The first edition of FEAST takes the theme of indulgence—over eating, sweet and sticky deserts, images of glistening food products and the tempting fast food of American movies. Visit the project blog at www.feastjournal.tumblr.com
Tonights launch takes place between 5-6.30pm in the Portico library, Manchester. An old Victorian library in the city centre, with the launch being held in one of the smaller reading rooms, beautiful setting for the publication.
