This is brilliant. Two of my roommates, one former one, two people we’ve published and two solid contemporaries all in one show.
joeearley asked: Hey Mossfull, Quick question, I was wondering if you could throw me the name of the cutter you use? been after something decent for so long and the cutter in one of the images you made recenttly looks like it does the job. I dont think I can drop a link in here. its the post that reads " Jake McNulty cutting the temporary image photograms to size " Thanks in advance, Rad blog by the way, Joe
Hey Joe! It’s a Swingline 18 inch maple cutting board. It’s self-sharpening and can cut mat board too. We also use our roommates’ Martin Yale stack cutter to trim the edges of our books. We had a stack cutter of our own that we bought cheaply off amazon, but it hasn’t survived. If you’re buying this sort of thing, make sure it’s a good one!

Emerging Artists Publication Series / Call for Submissions
Printed Matter is pleased to announce a call for submissions for a new Emerging Artists Publication Series. Five selected artists will work with the support of Printed Matter and a dedicated designer to realize individual projects. Books will be published in a loose serialized format and share a common dimension, spine and colophon, but the content will otherwise be left to the artist.
Submitted proposals will be reviewed by a committee made up of Tauba Auerbach (Artist), David Senior (Bibliographer, MoMA Library), Garrick Gott(Consulting Design Director, Printed Matter) and James Jenkin (Executive Director, Printed Matter). Selected artists will have the option of working with designer Garrick Gott.

Right now we’re busy finishing up our newest book with Jake McNulty for tomorrow’s launch at Printed Matter.
Jake McNulty cutting the temporary image photograms to size. Each Untitled (Statues) book will contain one in the back. The images will continue to expose and fade the more they are viewed, so keep the book closed if you plan to have one on your shelf.
