'PUBLIC LIBRARY' DESIGNED BY PABLO LEON DE LA BARRA AT CUBITT AS PART OF PUBLISH AND BE DAMNED

Publish and be Damned
Thursday 8 July to Sunday 1 August 2004
Curated by Emily Pethick and Kit Hammonds
Public Library designed by Pablo Leon de la Barra

Cubitt presents Publish and be Damned, a two-part project exploring current experimental editorial directions through an eclectic selection of self-published magazines, comics and journals.

On Sunday 4 July over 30 publishers from the UK will gather in the crypt of St James Church, Clerkenwell, for the Publish and be Damned fair, offering an opportunity to peruse a variety of publications and to meet the editors. Special projects will take place throughout the day, including Paula Rousch's 'Copylaws of the Kitchen', a free participatory event that mutates the printing press into 'biscuit cutting anarchy'; Jabba the Hut and Cousin IT demonstrating the uses of Audio Theory for dyslexics; and Berlin-based magazine Starship launching their bilingual issue on the subject of 'Darkening'.

From the 8 July to 1 August the second part of Publish and be Damned will be held at Cubitt gallery, with some 150 publications presented in a Public Library designed by Pablo Léon de la Barra. Arranged in an offbeat taxonomy and discovered through the informal networks that make up the self-publishing scene, the material ranges from DIY fanzines to glossy periodicals, video compendiums to critical journals. Surveying a gamut of independent publications, Public Library demonstrates individual approaches to making and distributing the work of artists, writers and musicians outside of the commercial mainstream.

Publish and be Damned is organised by Emily Pethick and Chris Hammonds. It is accompanied by a black and white catalogue available at the fair and gallery for £2.
Opening hours: Wednesday - Sunday, 12-6pm
