Thank you
The best of all booksWelcome to the Fourth Doverodde Book Arts Festival Since the Book Arts Center was founded at the Limfjordscenter in 2009 the festival has become a keenly anticipated fixture in the international book arts calendar This year the event is organized by award-winning book artist Mette-Sofie D Ambeck with support from Liz Hempel-Joslashrgensen Karin Nikolaus and a dedicated team of volunteers
The theme of this yearrsquos festival is lsquoOn the marginsrsquo (in Danish lsquoUdkantrsquo) The nineteenth-century American artist William Morris Hunt described the margins as lsquothe best part of all booksrsquo saying that a blank margin has lsquothe soothing influence of a clear sky in a landscapersquo The association between the borders of the page and the land is especially apposite in Doverodde a place separated from the mainland by the waters of the Limfjord The festival draws book artists and book lovers from around the world to this peaceful harbour village at the edge of Europe For one weekend a marginal space becomes a medial point where we can experience a wide range of contemporary book arts inventive examples of illustration and typography altered books and mail art and works demonstrating traditional papermaking bookbinding and printmaking techniques
Visitors can meet the makers and browse their books in the Pakhus or see an installation of prayers and greetings by Anita Pedersen and Gunnar Stefansson in the Tower Artist-led workshops will give everyone an opportunity to try their hand at book and paper crafts by creating concertina books tunnel books and pop-ups Japanese kirigami cards and Danish woven paper hearts The Limfjordcenter provides something for all the senses with musical performances by the trio lsquoMusic in a Gardenrsquo from Kassel Germany and local group lsquoDover Djazzrsquo ndash not to mention the aroma of cakes and coffee coming from the book cafeacute
In addition to this exciting programme of events this year sees the first Book Arts Symposium a forum for formal discussion of the genre We welcome distinguished artists Maureen Piggins and Ewa Monika Zebrowski from Canada to give keynote addresses and look forward to the debates initiated by the speakers

The power of imaginations ndash On the margin of the mindIn my artwork I try to express the experience of being human and how we see ourselves and the world In this particular artwork I focus on the power of our imaginations With our collective and learned imaginations and thoughts about ourselves and about others we lock ourselves into cages of consciousness These confining collective and individual concepts and emotions lie on the margins of the mind At these margins we have only a little contact with our inner being which actually holds what we really possesshellipinfinite freedom joy and strength

I only want what I canrsquot haveThis personal book explores the way in which an image is made fragmented and lost both physically and mentally The ideas were formed around the recent death of my Mother and also the end of a personal relationship I wanted to capture the feeling of loss and the information we are left with when something ends There is a mix of images including images of roses from my Motherrsquos garden and the trees she could see from her sitting room window There are also images of a bullfight in Barcelona a spectacle that also has just ended

Flying Summer Flyvende SommerIs the poetic Danish expression for the way little spiders travel in late summer They begin by crawling out to the edge of a leaf for example and spinning a thin thread When it is long enough even the slightest breath of air is enough to catch it and lift the spider into the air to float away
As this has always been a metaphor for freedom courage and faith to me my book is an invitation to go to the edge and seek adventureshellip

TALLINN HISTORY MARGINALTallinn is an amazingly well-preserved city never destroyed The walls date from the Middle Ages and the towers and belfries are well-restored gemshellip Yet suddenly around a corner behind a junction box a different language traces of a marginal existence secretive revealing itself sparingly Is it an appeal from those who donrsquot recognise themselves in this city a questioning of the established order Or is it quite simply life

Under the Skies of AhmedabadWhilst preparing for a residency in Ahmedabad India I began to familiarize myself with the location and the city by viewing and exploring the city through satellite images from Google Earth
Google Earth offers views of cities and streets in great detail they appear tantalizingly close and yet the experience is strangely alienating What I became interested in were images beyond the map at the margin images that reveal how it feels to live in the city the emotional experiences that make up the ritual of the everyday This is a different kind of map not lsquorealityrsquo modeled on spatial information but on lived experience of space and place

Robby Wild (Notes of Seclusion and Desolation)While part of everyday life there are things that we still do not notice our lack of understanding pushing things to the marginshellipIn the handmade artistsrsquo book Robby Wilde (inspired by a novel based on a true story) a paranoid schizophrenic boy feels disconnected and alone the isolation being the worst thing of all I selected sections distilling the storyrsquos essence and illustrated them symbolically
lsquoI think back to one of the early astronauts when he was beaming descriptive messages back to the listening Earth At one point he said ldquoWe are moving towards darkness all the timerdquo Unlike him Irsquom not moving anywhere Darkness is moving towards me all the timersquo (Voices of Robby Wilde)

ShorelineMy books are sensual Their subject matter is primarily focussed on the conceptualisation of the garden and the landscape Nature is so evocative of the human condition The book in its materiality and physical properties are integral to its reading providing the reader with an intimate and sensory experience with nature which engages them in reflecting on the natural worldA book which reflects on the shoreline where the land meets the sea and the sky sometimes clearly visible and at others indistinguishable The physicality of the book in its long slow paced format and its tactile surface qualities engage the reader in a reflective and sensual reading of the beauty of this landscape

TERRAINS VAGUESOn the margins of a town you find lsquoTerrains Vaguesrsquo a sort of no-mans land without any rules or structureThe Danish composer Per Noslashrgaringrd has written a piece of music called Terrains Vagues which is the inspiration for my book I hear the music as the place where all forces of mankind are expressed in true extremes I hear a tremendous horror but also an inherent poetic powerMankind represents devastation disasters and dissonance but hardworking inventiveness and enterprise tooI hear setback step backwards and forwards I also hear beauty and hope rising to the sky

UtkantslivUtkantsliv (Swedish for life on the outskirts or life on the margins) is an exploration of an unknown entity for me in my home town of Stockholm ndash a place now strangely unfamiliar to me after years abroadI started discovering these anonymous areas on the outskirts of the city mainly just houseshousing blocks sprung up in close proximity to public transport I got very interested in these lsquohinterlandsrsquo their strange careless mix of nature and industrial elementsThis book is the result of walks through one of these areas The photographs are purposefully anonymous and up-close void of people and wider context a highly personal view and examination of somewhere strangely impersonal and interchangeable

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

On the Margins ndash Waiting to be asked to danceCulturally in England at parties or weddings women begin the dancing whilst men watch drink and join in later Over the years I have attended many different types of dance classes In the confines of a dance or lsquofreestylersquo event the social rules change Women wait on the margins of the dancefloor to be asked to dance We demonstrate our willingness to dance by dancing on the spot The book shows the waiting feet shuffling tapping and enjoying the music eventually make a reverse turn into the path of a partner The book opens up into a dance that can also be seen as a man bowingThe beak book is housed in a dance cardAlso exhibiting the Pop-Up book Over On and Under

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Along the greenwayWalking around my neighbourhood I enjoy looking out for lost and discarded ephemera I find most pieces up against the edges of the urban streets and particularly along my local greenway a neglected freight rail and canal corridor Here feral wildlife make home and travel through without being disturbed or noticed by the suburban life of a big city Along this fringe are also human stragglers whose presence I am compelled to record in the intimacy of an artistrsquos book

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Thank you
The best of all booksWelcome to the Fourth Doverodde Book Arts Festival Since the Book Arts Center was founded at the Limfjordscenter in 2009 the festival has become a keenly anticipated fixture in the international book arts calendar This year the event is organized by award-winning book artist Mette-Sofie D Ambeck with support from Liz Hempel-Joslashrgensen Karin Nikolaus and a dedicated team of volunteers
The theme of this yearrsquos festival is lsquoOn the marginsrsquo (in Danish lsquoUdkantrsquo) The nineteenth-century American artist William Morris Hunt described the margins as lsquothe best part of all booksrsquo saying that a blank margin has lsquothe soothing influence of a clear sky in a landscapersquo The association between the borders of the page and the land is especially apposite in Doverodde a place separated from the mainland by the waters of the Limfjord The festival draws book artists and book lovers from around the world to this peaceful harbour village at the edge of Europe For one weekend a marginal space becomes a medial point where we can experience a wide range of contemporary book arts inventive examples of illustration and typography altered books and mail art and works demonstrating traditional papermaking bookbinding and printmaking techniques
Visitors can meet the makers and browse their books in the Pakhus or see an installation of prayers and greetings by Anita Pedersen and Gunnar Stefansson in the Tower Artist-led workshops will give everyone an opportunity to try their hand at book and paper crafts by creating concertina books tunnel books and pop-ups Japanese kirigami cards and Danish woven paper hearts The Limfjordcenter provides something for all the senses with musical performances by the trio lsquoMusic in a Gardenrsquo from Kassel Germany and local group lsquoDover Djazzrsquo ndash not to mention the aroma of cakes and coffee coming from the book cafeacute
In addition to this exciting programme of events this year sees the first Book Arts Symposium a forum for formal discussion of the genre We welcome distinguished artists Maureen Piggins and Ewa Monika Zebrowski from Canada to give keynote addresses and look forward to the debates initiated by the speakers

The power of imaginations ndash On the margin of the mindIn my artwork I try to express the experience of being human and how we see ourselves and the world In this particular artwork I focus on the power of our imaginations With our collective and learned imaginations and thoughts about ourselves and about others we lock ourselves into cages of consciousness These confining collective and individual concepts and emotions lie on the margins of the mind At these margins we have only a little contact with our inner being which actually holds what we really possesshellipinfinite freedom joy and strength

I only want what I canrsquot haveThis personal book explores the way in which an image is made fragmented and lost both physically and mentally The ideas were formed around the recent death of my Mother and also the end of a personal relationship I wanted to capture the feeling of loss and the information we are left with when something ends There is a mix of images including images of roses from my Motherrsquos garden and the trees she could see from her sitting room window There are also images of a bullfight in Barcelona a spectacle that also has just ended

Flying Summer Flyvende SommerIs the poetic Danish expression for the way little spiders travel in late summer They begin by crawling out to the edge of a leaf for example and spinning a thin thread When it is long enough even the slightest breath of air is enough to catch it and lift the spider into the air to float away
As this has always been a metaphor for freedom courage and faith to me my book is an invitation to go to the edge and seek adventureshellip

TALLINN HISTORY MARGINALTallinn is an amazingly well-preserved city never destroyed The walls date from the Middle Ages and the towers and belfries are well-restored gemshellip Yet suddenly around a corner behind a junction box a different language traces of a marginal existence secretive revealing itself sparingly Is it an appeal from those who donrsquot recognise themselves in this city a questioning of the established order Or is it quite simply life

Google Earth offers views of cities and streets in great detail they appear tantalizingly close and yet the experience is strangely alienating What I became interested in were images beyond the map at the margin images that reveal how it feels to live in the city the emotional experiences that make up the ritual of the everyday This is a different kind of map not lsquorealityrsquo modeled on spatial information but on lived experience of space and place

Robby Wild (Notes of Seclusion and Desolation)While part of everyday life there are things that we still do not notice our lack of understanding pushing things to the marginshellipIn the handmade artistsrsquo book Robby Wilde (inspired by a novel based on a true story) a paranoid schizophrenic boy feels disconnected and alone the isolation being the worst thing of all I selected sections distilling the storyrsquos essence and illustrated them symbolically
lsquoI think back to one of the early astronauts when he was beaming descriptive messages back to the listening Earth At one point he said ldquoWe are moving towards darkness all the timerdquo Unlike him Irsquom not moving anywhere Darkness is moving towards me all the timersquo (Voices of Robby Wilde)

ShorelineMy books are sensual Their subject matter is primarily focussed on the conceptualisation of the garden and the landscape Nature is so evocative of the human condition The book in its materiality and physical properties are integral to its reading providing the reader with an intimate and sensory experience with nature which engages them in reflecting on the natural worldA book which reflects on the shoreline where the land meets the sea and the sky sometimes clearly visible and at others indistinguishable The physicality of the book in its long slow paced format and its tactile surface qualities engage the reader in a reflective and sensual reading of the beauty of this landscape

TERRAINS VAGUESOn the margins of a town you find lsquoTerrains Vaguesrsquo a sort of no-mans land without any rules or structureThe Danish composer Per Noslashrgaringrd has written a piece of music called Terrains Vagues which is the inspiration for my book I hear the music as the place where all forces of mankind are expressed in true extremes I hear a tremendous horror but also an inherent poetic powerMankind represents devastation disasters and dissonance but hardworking inventiveness and enterprise tooI hear setback step backwards and forwards I also hear beauty and hope rising to the sky

UtkantslivUtkantsliv (Swedish for life on the outskirts or life on the margins) is an exploration of an unknown entity for me in my home town of Stockholm ndash a place now strangely unfamiliar to me after years abroadI started discovering these anonymous areas on the outskirts of the city mainly just houseshousing blocks sprung up in close proximity to public transport I got very interested in these lsquohinterlandsrsquo their strange careless mix of nature and industrial elementsThis book is the result of walks through one of these areas The photographs are purposefully anonymous and up-close void of people and wider context a highly personal view and examination of somewhere strangely impersonal and interchangeable

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I leave a wide margin on my lifeWhat I do how I live how I think what I look like how I live with my loved ones the house I live in all that is on the margins ndash of a society whose centre is obsessed with only income and more power and more status more and more and more Yet this life on the edge is not a dull dingy life but one with a lot of laughter children friends ndash a fun-loving life What things tell of such a life My book is lyrical documentary told with collected ephemera drawings and texts

On the marginWhere decay initiates new growth ndash Where change shows more reluctantly ndash Where fruit grows for everyone ndash Where invisible eyes follow you ndash Where something new keeps appearing ndash Where thoughts hover in the air ndash Where no flags mark property ndash Where the eye cannot be detained ndash Where striving is searching ndash Where straight lines have no place ndash Where paths get lost ndash Where the clouds drift lower ndash Where birds form spirals in the air ndash
Where you feel at homebecause here you can lose yourselfbecause here you can find yourself

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

Exclusion of special individuals people groups ndash the refusing of human achievements will always lead to problems and war

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Thank you
The best of all booksWelcome to the Fourth Doverodde Book Arts Festival Since the Book Arts Center was founded at the Limfjordscenter in 2009 the festival has become a keenly anticipated fixture in the international book arts calendar This year the event is organized by award-winning book artist Mette-Sofie D Ambeck with support from Liz Hempel-Joslashrgensen Karin Nikolaus and a dedicated team of volunteers
The theme of this yearrsquos festival is lsquoOn the marginsrsquo (in Danish lsquoUdkantrsquo) The nineteenth-century American artist William Morris Hunt described the margins as lsquothe best part of all booksrsquo saying that a blank margin has lsquothe soothing influence of a clear sky in a landscapersquo The association between the borders of the page and the land is especially apposite in Doverodde a place separated from the mainland by the waters of the Limfjord The festival draws book artists and book lovers from around the world to this peaceful harbour village at the edge of Europe For one weekend a marginal space becomes a medial point where we can experience a wide range of contemporary book arts inventive examples of illustration and typography altered books and mail art and works demonstrating traditional papermaking bookbinding and printmaking techniques
Visitors can meet the makers and browse their books in the Pakhus or see an installation of prayers and greetings by Anita Pedersen and Gunnar Stefansson in the Tower Artist-led workshops will give everyone an opportunity to try their hand at book and paper crafts by creating concertina books tunnel books and pop-ups Japanese kirigami cards and Danish woven paper hearts The Limfjordcenter provides something for all the senses with musical performances by the trio lsquoMusic in a Gardenrsquo from Kassel Germany and local group lsquoDover Djazzrsquo ndash not to mention the aroma of cakes and coffee coming from the book cafeacute
In addition to this exciting programme of events this year sees the first Book Arts Symposium a forum for formal discussion of the genre We welcome distinguished artists Maureen Piggins and Ewa Monika Zebrowski from Canada to give keynote addresses and look forward to the debates initiated by the speakers

The power of imaginations ndash On the margin of the mindIn my artwork I try to express the experience of being human and how we see ourselves and the world In this particular artwork I focus on the power of our imaginations With our collective and learned imaginations and thoughts about ourselves and about others we lock ourselves into cages of consciousness These confining collective and individual concepts and emotions lie on the margins of the mind At these margins we have only a little contact with our inner being which actually holds what we really possesshellipinfinite freedom joy and strength

I only want what I canrsquot haveThis personal book explores the way in which an image is made fragmented and lost both physically and mentally The ideas were formed around the recent death of my Mother and also the end of a personal relationship I wanted to capture the feeling of loss and the information we are left with when something ends There is a mix of images including images of roses from my Motherrsquos garden and the trees she could see from her sitting room window There are also images of a bullfight in Barcelona a spectacle that also has just ended

Flying Summer Flyvende SommerIs the poetic Danish expression for the way little spiders travel in late summer They begin by crawling out to the edge of a leaf for example and spinning a thin thread When it is long enough even the slightest breath of air is enough to catch it and lift the spider into the air to float away
As this has always been a metaphor for freedom courage and faith to me my book is an invitation to go to the edge and seek adventureshellip

TALLINN HISTORY MARGINALTallinn is an amazingly well-preserved city never destroyed The walls date from the Middle Ages and the towers and belfries are well-restored gemshellip Yet suddenly around a corner behind a junction box a different language traces of a marginal existence secretive revealing itself sparingly Is it an appeal from those who donrsquot recognise themselves in this city a questioning of the established order Or is it quite simply life

Under the Skies of AhmedabadWhilst preparing for a residency in Ahmedabad India I began to familiarize myself with the location and the city by viewing and exploring the city through satellite images from Google Earth
Google Earth offers views of cities and streets in great detail they appear tantalizingly close and yet the experience is strangely alienating What I became interested in were images beyond the map at the margin images that reveal how it feels to live in the city the emotional experiences that make up the ritual of the everyday This is a different kind of map not lsquorealityrsquo modeled on spatial information but on lived experience of space and place

Robby Wild (Notes of Seclusion and Desolation)While part of everyday life there are things that we still do not notice our lack of understanding pushing things to the marginshellipIn the handmade artistsrsquo book Robby Wilde (inspired by a novel based on a true story) a paranoid schizophrenic boy feels disconnected and alone the isolation being the worst thing of all I selected sections distilling the storyrsquos essence and illustrated them symbolically
lsquoI think back to one of the early astronauts when he was beaming descriptive messages back to the listening Earth At one point he said ldquoWe are moving towards darkness all the timerdquo Unlike him Irsquom not moving anywhere Darkness is moving towards me all the timersquo (Voices of Robby Wilde)

ShorelineMy books are sensual Their subject matter is primarily focussed on the conceptualisation of the garden and the landscape Nature is so evocative of the human condition The book in its materiality and physical properties are integral to its reading providing the reader with an intimate and sensory experience with nature which engages them in reflecting on the natural worldA book which reflects on the shoreline where the land meets the sea and the sky sometimes clearly visible and at others indistinguishable The physicality of the book in its long slow paced format and its tactile surface qualities engage the reader in a reflective and sensual reading of the beauty of this landscape

TERRAINS VAGUESOn the margins of a town you find lsquoTerrains Vaguesrsquo a sort of no-mans land without any rules or structureThe Danish composer Per Noslashrgaringrd has written a piece of music called Terrains Vagues which is the inspiration for my book I hear the music as the place where all forces of mankind are expressed in true extremes I hear a tremendous horror but also an inherent poetic powerMankind represents devastation disasters and dissonance but hardworking inventiveness and enterprise tooI hear setback step backwards and forwards I also hear beauty and hope rising to the sky

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Michael The CartographerlsquoThis remarkable artist I call Michael the Cartographer He lives alone and after he has spent a long time making such a map or perhaps several he destroys them I am sure I need not add that these are interior maps of the mind and not of any geographical placersquoThis extract is believed to have been written by Victor Musgrave Art Collector
This writing was obtained via The Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester UK along with two reproduced maps drawn by the mysterious lsquoMichael The Cartographerrsquo This is the only information the gallery have about the artist My book piece tells the story of Michael illustrating his beautiful maps through my own hand illuminating his enigmatic life

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

On the Margins ndash Waiting to be asked to danceCulturally in England at parties or weddings women begin the dancing whilst men watch drink and join in later Over the years I have attended many different types of dance classes In the confines of a dance or lsquofreestylersquo event the social rules change Women wait on the margins of the dancefloor to be asked to dance We demonstrate our willingness to dance by dancing on the spot The book shows the waiting feet shuffling tapping and enjoying the music eventually make a reverse turn into the path of a partner The book opens up into a dance that can also be seen as a man bowingThe beak book is housed in a dance cardAlso exhibiting the Pop-Up book Over On and Under

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Along the greenwayWalking around my neighbourhood I enjoy looking out for lost and discarded ephemera I find most pieces up against the edges of the urban streets and particularly along my local greenway a neglected freight rail and canal corridor Here feral wildlife make home and travel through without being disturbed or noticed by the suburban life of a big city Along this fringe are also human stragglers whose presence I am compelled to record in the intimacy of an artistrsquos book

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

The best of all booksWelcome to the Fourth Doverodde Book Arts Festival Since the Book Arts Center was founded at the Limfjordscenter in 2009 the festival has become a keenly anticipated fixture in the international book arts calendar This year the event is organized by award-winning book artist Mette-Sofie D Ambeck with support from Liz Hempel-Joslashrgensen Karin Nikolaus and a dedicated team of volunteers
The theme of this yearrsquos festival is lsquoOn the marginsrsquo (in Danish lsquoUdkantrsquo) The nineteenth-century American artist William Morris Hunt described the margins as lsquothe best part of all booksrsquo saying that a blank margin has lsquothe soothing influence of a clear sky in a landscapersquo The association between the borders of the page and the land is especially apposite in Doverodde a place separated from the mainland by the waters of the Limfjord The festival draws book artists and book lovers from around the world to this peaceful harbour village at the edge of Europe For one weekend a marginal space becomes a medial point where we can experience a wide range of contemporary book arts inventive examples of illustration and typography altered books and mail art and works demonstrating traditional papermaking bookbinding and printmaking techniques
Visitors can meet the makers and browse their books in the Pakhus or see an installation of prayers and greetings by Anita Pedersen and Gunnar Stefansson in the Tower Artist-led workshops will give everyone an opportunity to try their hand at book and paper crafts by creating concertina books tunnel books and pop-ups Japanese kirigami cards and Danish woven paper hearts The Limfjordcenter provides something for all the senses with musical performances by the trio lsquoMusic in a Gardenrsquo from Kassel Germany and local group lsquoDover Djazzrsquo ndash not to mention the aroma of cakes and coffee coming from the book cafeacute
In addition to this exciting programme of events this year sees the first Book Arts Symposium a forum for formal discussion of the genre We welcome distinguished artists Maureen Piggins and Ewa Monika Zebrowski from Canada to give keynote addresses and look forward to the debates initiated by the speakers

The power of imaginations ndash On the margin of the mindIn my artwork I try to express the experience of being human and how we see ourselves and the world In this particular artwork I focus on the power of our imaginations With our collective and learned imaginations and thoughts about ourselves and about others we lock ourselves into cages of consciousness These confining collective and individual concepts and emotions lie on the margins of the mind At these margins we have only a little contact with our inner being which actually holds what we really possesshellipinfinite freedom joy and strength

I only want what I canrsquot haveThis personal book explores the way in which an image is made fragmented and lost both physically and mentally The ideas were formed around the recent death of my Mother and also the end of a personal relationship I wanted to capture the feeling of loss and the information we are left with when something ends There is a mix of images including images of roses from my Motherrsquos garden and the trees she could see from her sitting room window There are also images of a bullfight in Barcelona a spectacle that also has just ended

Flying Summer Flyvende SommerIs the poetic Danish expression for the way little spiders travel in late summer They begin by crawling out to the edge of a leaf for example and spinning a thin thread When it is long enough even the slightest breath of air is enough to catch it and lift the spider into the air to float away
As this has always been a metaphor for freedom courage and faith to me my book is an invitation to go to the edge and seek adventureshellip

Under the Skies of AhmedabadWhilst preparing for a residency in Ahmedabad India I began to familiarize myself with the location and the city by viewing and exploring the city through satellite images from Google Earth
Google Earth offers views of cities and streets in great detail they appear tantalizingly close and yet the experience is strangely alienating What I became interested in were images beyond the map at the margin images that reveal how it feels to live in the city the emotional experiences that make up the ritual of the everyday This is a different kind of map not lsquorealityrsquo modeled on spatial information but on lived experience of space and place

Robby Wild (Notes of Seclusion and Desolation)While part of everyday life there are things that we still do not notice our lack of understanding pushing things to the marginshellipIn the handmade artistsrsquo book Robby Wilde (inspired by a novel based on a true story) a paranoid schizophrenic boy feels disconnected and alone the isolation being the worst thing of all I selected sections distilling the storyrsquos essence and illustrated them symbolically
lsquoI think back to one of the early astronauts when he was beaming descriptive messages back to the listening Earth At one point he said ldquoWe are moving towards darkness all the timerdquo Unlike him Irsquom not moving anywhere Darkness is moving towards me all the timersquo (Voices of Robby Wilde)

ShorelineMy books are sensual Their subject matter is primarily focussed on the conceptualisation of the garden and the landscape Nature is so evocative of the human condition The book in its materiality and physical properties are integral to its reading providing the reader with an intimate and sensory experience with nature which engages them in reflecting on the natural worldA book which reflects on the shoreline where the land meets the sea and the sky sometimes clearly visible and at others indistinguishable The physicality of the book in its long slow paced format and its tactile surface qualities engage the reader in a reflective and sensual reading of the beauty of this landscape

TERRAINS VAGUESOn the margins of a town you find lsquoTerrains Vaguesrsquo a sort of no-mans land without any rules or structureThe Danish composer Per Noslashrgaringrd has written a piece of music called Terrains Vagues which is the inspiration for my book I hear the music as the place where all forces of mankind are expressed in true extremes I hear a tremendous horror but also an inherent poetic powerMankind represents devastation disasters and dissonance but hardworking inventiveness and enterprise tooI hear setback step backwards and forwards I also hear beauty and hope rising to the sky

UtkantslivUtkantsliv (Swedish for life on the outskirts or life on the margins) is an exploration of an unknown entity for me in my home town of Stockholm ndash a place now strangely unfamiliar to me after years abroadI started discovering these anonymous areas on the outskirts of the city mainly just houseshousing blocks sprung up in close proximity to public transport I got very interested in these lsquohinterlandsrsquo their strange careless mix of nature and industrial elementsThis book is the result of walks through one of these areas The photographs are purposefully anonymous and up-close void of people and wider context a highly personal view and examination of somewhere strangely impersonal and interchangeable

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

Geschlossene Gesellschaft Private partyEvery society is a mix-up of many different groups and individuals To develop and fulfil evolution it needs a range of differences we have to see that both nationally and globally
Exclusion of special individuals people groups ndash the refusing of human achievements will always lead to problems and war
Segregation takes place gradually and we all have to be alert to the first signs of marginalization

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

In de marge on the marginLines and patterns have fascinated me for a long time I started manipulating calligraphic pens and all sorts of writing materials forming traces and structures with little details that carry the vulnerability of the moment This work-flow became my language the language in which I could express myselfIn this work I filled the margins and left out the centre the readable words The sometimes-fragile images and lines show what it can mean to live on the margin of Life

Along the greenwayWalking around my neighbourhood I enjoy looking out for lost and discarded ephemera I find most pieces up against the edges of the urban streets and particularly along my local greenway a neglected freight rail and canal corridor Here feral wildlife make home and travel through without being disturbed or noticed by the suburban life of a big city Along this fringe are also human stragglers whose presence I am compelled to record in the intimacy of an artistrsquos book

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

The power of imaginations ndash On the margin of the mindIn my artwork I try to express the experience of being human and how we see ourselves and the world In this particular artwork I focus on the power of our imaginations With our collective and learned imaginations and thoughts about ourselves and about others we lock ourselves into cages of consciousness These confining collective and individual concepts and emotions lie on the margins of the mind At these margins we have only a little contact with our inner being which actually holds what we really possesshellipinfinite freedom joy and strength

I only want what I canrsquot haveThis personal book explores the way in which an image is made fragmented and lost both physically and mentally The ideas were formed around the recent death of my Mother and also the end of a personal relationship I wanted to capture the feeling of loss and the information we are left with when something ends There is a mix of images including images of roses from my Motherrsquos garden and the trees she could see from her sitting room window There are also images of a bullfight in Barcelona a spectacle that also has just ended

Flying Summer Flyvende SommerIs the poetic Danish expression for the way little spiders travel in late summer They begin by crawling out to the edge of a leaf for example and spinning a thin thread When it is long enough even the slightest breath of air is enough to catch it and lift the spider into the air to float away
As this has always been a metaphor for freedom courage and faith to me my book is an invitation to go to the edge and seek adventureshellip

TALLINN HISTORY MARGINALTallinn is an amazingly well-preserved city never destroyed The walls date from the Middle Ages and the towers and belfries are well-restored gemshellip Yet suddenly around a corner behind a junction box a different language traces of a marginal existence secretive revealing itself sparingly Is it an appeal from those who donrsquot recognise themselves in this city a questioning of the established order Or is it quite simply life

Under the Skies of AhmedabadWhilst preparing for a residency in Ahmedabad India I began to familiarize myself with the location and the city by viewing and exploring the city through satellite images from Google Earth
Google Earth offers views of cities and streets in great detail they appear tantalizingly close and yet the experience is strangely alienating What I became interested in were images beyond the map at the margin images that reveal how it feels to live in the city the emotional experiences that make up the ritual of the everyday This is a different kind of map not lsquorealityrsquo modeled on spatial information but on lived experience of space and place

Robby Wild (Notes of Seclusion and Desolation)While part of everyday life there are things that we still do not notice our lack of understanding pushing things to the marginshellipIn the handmade artistsrsquo book Robby Wilde (inspired by a novel based on a true story) a paranoid schizophrenic boy feels disconnected and alone the isolation being the worst thing of all I selected sections distilling the storyrsquos essence and illustrated them symbolically
lsquoI think back to one of the early astronauts when he was beaming descriptive messages back to the listening Earth At one point he said ldquoWe are moving towards darkness all the timerdquo Unlike him Irsquom not moving anywhere Darkness is moving towards me all the timersquo (Voices of Robby Wilde)

ShorelineMy books are sensual Their subject matter is primarily focussed on the conceptualisation of the garden and the landscape Nature is so evocative of the human condition The book in its materiality and physical properties are integral to its reading providing the reader with an intimate and sensory experience with nature which engages them in reflecting on the natural worldA book which reflects on the shoreline where the land meets the sea and the sky sometimes clearly visible and at others indistinguishable The physicality of the book in its long slow paced format and its tactile surface qualities engage the reader in a reflective and sensual reading of the beauty of this landscape

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

HiddenHidden is an artistsrsquo book created by Marianne Laimer in 2012 The book is designed as a game to entice the viewer to stop find and explore the hidden Hide and seek masks a deeper meaning where the game turns into something more serious Who exactly is hiding out in the margins of the fictional community room As in previous Laimer book works there are shadow-motifs and subtle references to other literatureThe material used is 160g Fabriano Tiziano paper flax for sewing and a minimal amount of glue has been used for mounting The motifs are cut by hand

Leo GrindonI discovered the work of Leo Grindon a local botanist during study at The Manchester Herbarium A philanthropist Grindon worked tirelessly with lsquomarginalizedrsquo people in and around the North West of England to engage them with plants of all varieties His archives are now housed in the Herbarium although his handwritten word is still illegible My book is a small tribute to his pioneering work in adult education and for the inspiration he brought to local people in 1852

Single Ward FeaturesFloating like lonely Islands the separated wards of the town where I was born are the content of the first chapter of this book
Using poetic language found in the appropriated text of an official government document I have loosely bound together a fractured representation of this single place
Exploring the beauty of cartography and language and the crossover between authenticity and ambiguity
In fragmenting these factual details I hope to create a canvas for the imagination

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

FRIEND a fantastic and grim storyHere are grim tales from the margins of life and the outskirts of existence Wild and intense yet also heartfelt calm and gentle
After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

BindingI learned traditional bookbinding but soon became rather dissatisfied with it I moved on to artistic books which allow me to say and express things more personally seeking and creating unity between form and content
Mail ArtI started doing mail art more than sixteen years agoIt is a form of exchange of surprising and enriching meetings tooIt is also a way of putting across an opinion unasked

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

As before we are very grateful to all of the artists who have given their time and skills to participate in our events Because of them we now have an international Book Arts Festival which seems to grow each year
Special thanks to Norwegian Tommelise Haldrup Pettersen 2011 First Prize winner of the Doverodde Book Arts Center of Denmark Award for suggesting our 2012 theme UdkantSarah Bodman from The University of West England provided the translation On the margins Thanks to her for all her support

The power of imaginations ndash On the margin of the mindIn my artwork I try to express the experience of being human and how we see ourselves and the world In this particular artwork I focus on the power of our imaginations With our collective and learned imaginations and thoughts about ourselves and about others we lock ourselves into cages of consciousness These confining collective and individual concepts and emotions lie on the margins of the mind At these margins we have only a little contact with our inner being which actually holds what we really possesshellipinfinite freedom joy and strength

I only want what I canrsquot haveThis personal book explores the way in which an image is made fragmented and lost both physically and mentally The ideas were formed around the recent death of my Mother and also the end of a personal relationship I wanted to capture the feeling of loss and the information we are left with when something ends There is a mix of images including images of roses from my Motherrsquos garden and the trees she could see from her sitting room window There are also images of a bullfight in Barcelona a spectacle that also has just ended

Flying Summer Flyvende SommerIs the poetic Danish expression for the way little spiders travel in late summer They begin by crawling out to the edge of a leaf for example and spinning a thin thread When it is long enough even the slightest breath of air is enough to catch it and lift the spider into the air to float away
As this has always been a metaphor for freedom courage and faith to me my book is an invitation to go to the edge and seek adventureshellip

Under the Skies of AhmedabadWhilst preparing for a residency in Ahmedabad India I began to familiarize myself with the location and the city by viewing and exploring the city through satellite images from Google Earth
Google Earth offers views of cities and streets in great detail they appear tantalizingly close and yet the experience is strangely alienating What I became interested in were images beyond the map at the margin images that reveal how it feels to live in the city the emotional experiences that make up the ritual of the everyday This is a different kind of map not lsquorealityrsquo modeled on spatial information but on lived experience of space and place

Robby Wild (Notes of Seclusion and Desolation)While part of everyday life there are things that we still do not notice our lack of understanding pushing things to the marginshellipIn the handmade artistsrsquo book Robby Wilde (inspired by a novel based on a true story) a paranoid schizophrenic boy feels disconnected and alone the isolation being the worst thing of all I selected sections distilling the storyrsquos essence and illustrated them symbolically
lsquoI think back to one of the early astronauts when he was beaming descriptive messages back to the listening Earth At one point he said ldquoWe are moving towards darkness all the timerdquo Unlike him Irsquom not moving anywhere Darkness is moving towards me all the timersquo (Voices of Robby Wilde)

ShorelineMy books are sensual Their subject matter is primarily focussed on the conceptualisation of the garden and the landscape Nature is so evocative of the human condition The book in its materiality and physical properties are integral to its reading providing the reader with an intimate and sensory experience with nature which engages them in reflecting on the natural worldA book which reflects on the shoreline where the land meets the sea and the sky sometimes clearly visible and at others indistinguishable The physicality of the book in its long slow paced format and its tactile surface qualities engage the reader in a reflective and sensual reading of the beauty of this landscape

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

On the Margins ndash Waiting to be asked to danceCulturally in England at parties or weddings women begin the dancing whilst men watch drink and join in later Over the years I have attended many different types of dance classes In the confines of a dance or lsquofreestylersquo event the social rules change Women wait on the margins of the dancefloor to be asked to dance We demonstrate our willingness to dance by dancing on the spot The book shows the waiting feet shuffling tapping and enjoying the music eventually make a reverse turn into the path of a partner The book opens up into a dance that can also be seen as a man bowingThe beak book is housed in a dance cardAlso exhibiting the Pop-Up book Over On and Under

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

Along the greenwayWalking around my neighbourhood I enjoy looking out for lost and discarded ephemera I find most pieces up against the edges of the urban streets and particularly along my local greenway a neglected freight rail and canal corridor Here feral wildlife make home and travel through without being disturbed or noticed by the suburban life of a big city Along this fringe are also human stragglers whose presence I am compelled to record in the intimacy of an artistrsquos book

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

The power of imaginations ndash On the margin of the mindIn my artwork I try to express the experience of being human and how we see ourselves and the world In this particular artwork I focus on the power of our imaginations With our collective and learned imaginations and thoughts about ourselves and about others we lock ourselves into cages of consciousness These confining collective and individual concepts and emotions lie on the margins of the mind At these margins we have only a little contact with our inner being which actually holds what we really possesshellipinfinite freedom joy and strength

I only want what I canrsquot haveThis personal book explores the way in which an image is made fragmented and lost both physically and mentally The ideas were formed around the recent death of my Mother and also the end of a personal relationship I wanted to capture the feeling of loss and the information we are left with when something ends There is a mix of images including images of roses from my Motherrsquos garden and the trees she could see from her sitting room window There are also images of a bullfight in Barcelona a spectacle that also has just ended

Flying Summer Flyvende SommerIs the poetic Danish expression for the way little spiders travel in late summer They begin by crawling out to the edge of a leaf for example and spinning a thin thread When it is long enough even the slightest breath of air is enough to catch it and lift the spider into the air to float away
As this has always been a metaphor for freedom courage and faith to me my book is an invitation to go to the edge and seek adventureshellip

Under the Skies of AhmedabadWhilst preparing for a residency in Ahmedabad India I began to familiarize myself with the location and the city by viewing and exploring the city through satellite images from Google Earth
Google Earth offers views of cities and streets in great detail they appear tantalizingly close and yet the experience is strangely alienating What I became interested in were images beyond the map at the margin images that reveal how it feels to live in the city the emotional experiences that make up the ritual of the everyday This is a different kind of map not lsquorealityrsquo modeled on spatial information but on lived experience of space and place

Robby Wild (Notes of Seclusion and Desolation)While part of everyday life there are things that we still do not notice our lack of understanding pushing things to the marginshellipIn the handmade artistsrsquo book Robby Wilde (inspired by a novel based on a true story) a paranoid schizophrenic boy feels disconnected and alone the isolation being the worst thing of all I selected sections distilling the storyrsquos essence and illustrated them symbolically
lsquoI think back to one of the early astronauts when he was beaming descriptive messages back to the listening Earth At one point he said ldquoWe are moving towards darkness all the timerdquo Unlike him Irsquom not moving anywhere Darkness is moving towards me all the timersquo (Voices of Robby Wilde)

ShorelineMy books are sensual Their subject matter is primarily focussed on the conceptualisation of the garden and the landscape Nature is so evocative of the human condition The book in its materiality and physical properties are integral to its reading providing the reader with an intimate and sensory experience with nature which engages them in reflecting on the natural worldA book which reflects on the shoreline where the land meets the sea and the sky sometimes clearly visible and at others indistinguishable The physicality of the book in its long slow paced format and its tactile surface qualities engage the reader in a reflective and sensual reading of the beauty of this landscape

TERRAINS VAGUESOn the margins of a town you find lsquoTerrains Vaguesrsquo a sort of no-mans land without any rules or structureThe Danish composer Per Noslashrgaringrd has written a piece of music called Terrains Vagues which is the inspiration for my book I hear the music as the place where all forces of mankind are expressed in true extremes I hear a tremendous horror but also an inherent poetic powerMankind represents devastation disasters and dissonance but hardworking inventiveness and enterprise tooI hear setback step backwards and forwards I also hear beauty and hope rising to the sky

UtkantslivUtkantsliv (Swedish for life on the outskirts or life on the margins) is an exploration of an unknown entity for me in my home town of Stockholm ndash a place now strangely unfamiliar to me after years abroadI started discovering these anonymous areas on the outskirts of the city mainly just houseshousing blocks sprung up in close proximity to public transport I got very interested in these lsquohinterlandsrsquo their strange careless mix of nature and industrial elementsThis book is the result of walks through one of these areas The photographs are purposefully anonymous and up-close void of people and wider context a highly personal view and examination of somewhere strangely impersonal and interchangeable

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

Geschlossene Gesellschaft Private partyEvery society is a mix-up of many different groups and individuals To develop and fulfil evolution it needs a range of differences we have to see that both nationally and globally
Exclusion of special individuals people groups ndash the refusing of human achievements will always lead to problems and war
Segregation takes place gradually and we all have to be alert to the first signs of marginalization

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

In de marge on the marginLines and patterns have fascinated me for a long time I started manipulating calligraphic pens and all sorts of writing materials forming traces and structures with little details that carry the vulnerability of the moment This work-flow became my language the language in which I could express myselfIn this work I filled the margins and left out the centre the readable words The sometimes-fragile images and lines show what it can mean to live on the margin of Life

Along the greenwayWalking around my neighbourhood I enjoy looking out for lost and discarded ephemera I find most pieces up against the edges of the urban streets and particularly along my local greenway a neglected freight rail and canal corridor Here feral wildlife make home and travel through without being disturbed or noticed by the suburban life of a big city Along this fringe are also human stragglers whose presence I am compelled to record in the intimacy of an artistrsquos book

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Flying Summer Flyvende SommerIs the poetic Danish expression for the way little spiders travel in late summer They begin by crawling out to the edge of a leaf for example and spinning a thin thread When it is long enough even the slightest breath of air is enough to catch it and lift the spider into the air to float away
As this has always been a metaphor for freedom courage and faith to me my book is an invitation to go to the edge and seek adventureshellip

TALLINN HISTORY MARGINALTallinn is an amazingly well-preserved city never destroyed The walls date from the Middle Ages and the towers and belfries are well-restored gemshellip Yet suddenly around a corner behind a junction box a different language traces of a marginal existence secretive revealing itself sparingly Is it an appeal from those who donrsquot recognise themselves in this city a questioning of the established order Or is it quite simply life

Under the Skies of AhmedabadWhilst preparing for a residency in Ahmedabad India I began to familiarize myself with the location and the city by viewing and exploring the city through satellite images from Google Earth
Google Earth offers views of cities and streets in great detail they appear tantalizingly close and yet the experience is strangely alienating What I became interested in were images beyond the map at the margin images that reveal how it feels to live in the city the emotional experiences that make up the ritual of the everyday This is a different kind of map not lsquorealityrsquo modeled on spatial information but on lived experience of space and place

Robby Wild (Notes of Seclusion and Desolation)While part of everyday life there are things that we still do not notice our lack of understanding pushing things to the marginshellipIn the handmade artistsrsquo book Robby Wilde (inspired by a novel based on a true story) a paranoid schizophrenic boy feels disconnected and alone the isolation being the worst thing of all I selected sections distilling the storyrsquos essence and illustrated them symbolically
lsquoI think back to one of the early astronauts when he was beaming descriptive messages back to the listening Earth At one point he said ldquoWe are moving towards darkness all the timerdquo Unlike him Irsquom not moving anywhere Darkness is moving towards me all the timersquo (Voices of Robby Wilde)

ShorelineMy books are sensual Their subject matter is primarily focussed on the conceptualisation of the garden and the landscape Nature is so evocative of the human condition The book in its materiality and physical properties are integral to its reading providing the reader with an intimate and sensory experience with nature which engages them in reflecting on the natural worldA book which reflects on the shoreline where the land meets the sea and the sky sometimes clearly visible and at others indistinguishable The physicality of the book in its long slow paced format and its tactile surface qualities engage the reader in a reflective and sensual reading of the beauty of this landscape

TERRAINS VAGUESOn the margins of a town you find lsquoTerrains Vaguesrsquo a sort of no-mans land without any rules or structureThe Danish composer Per Noslashrgaringrd has written a piece of music called Terrains Vagues which is the inspiration for my book I hear the music as the place where all forces of mankind are expressed in true extremes I hear a tremendous horror but also an inherent poetic powerMankind represents devastation disasters and dissonance but hardworking inventiveness and enterprise tooI hear setback step backwards and forwards I also hear beauty and hope rising to the sky

UtkantslivUtkantsliv (Swedish for life on the outskirts or life on the margins) is an exploration of an unknown entity for me in my home town of Stockholm ndash a place now strangely unfamiliar to me after years abroadI started discovering these anonymous areas on the outskirts of the city mainly just houseshousing blocks sprung up in close proximity to public transport I got very interested in these lsquohinterlandsrsquo their strange careless mix of nature and industrial elementsThis book is the result of walks through one of these areas The photographs are purposefully anonymous and up-close void of people and wider context a highly personal view and examination of somewhere strangely impersonal and interchangeable

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

FRIEND a fantastic and grim storyHere are grim tales from the margins of life and the outskirts of existence Wild and intense yet also heartfelt calm and gentle
After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

As before we are very grateful to all of the artists who have given their time and skills to participate in our events Because of them we now have an international Book Arts Festival which seems to grow each year

And while the Limfjordscentret may be situated on the margins of Denmark we have still gathered artists from around the world to participate in our latest new Festival venture the Artistsrsquo Books Anonymous On the margins SymposiumProminent artists have travelled to us from across the world to share their knowledge and art Thank you to our two Keynote speakers from Canada Maureen Piggins and Ewa Monika Zebrowski We are also glad to welcome American artists Doug Beube and Tatiana Ginsberg and Jesvin Yeo from Singapore Finally travelling from the UK are Sylvia Waltering and Lucy May SchofieldSuch an international list can only enlighten us to the global diversity and expertise in the field of book arts Additional thanks for helping select our Symposium candidates to the British panel Sarah Bodman Angie Butler Andrew Eason Linda Newington Mike Nicholson and Tom Sowden
Our other new experiment is the Writer-in-Residency project for which we were lucky to secure British poet and printmaker Nancy Campbell She has brought new life to Doverodde

I only want what I canrsquot haveThis personal book explores the way in which an image is made fragmented and lost both physically and mentally The ideas were formed around the recent death of my Mother and also the end of a personal relationship I wanted to capture the feeling of loss and the information we are left with when something ends There is a mix of images including images of roses from my Motherrsquos garden and the trees she could see from her sitting room window There are also images of a bullfight in Barcelona a spectacle that also has just ended

Flying Summer Flyvende SommerIs the poetic Danish expression for the way little spiders travel in late summer They begin by crawling out to the edge of a leaf for example and spinning a thin thread When it is long enough even the slightest breath of air is enough to catch it and lift the spider into the air to float away
As this has always been a metaphor for freedom courage and faith to me my book is an invitation to go to the edge and seek adventureshellip

TALLINN HISTORY MARGINALTallinn is an amazingly well-preserved city never destroyed The walls date from the Middle Ages and the towers and belfries are well-restored gemshellip Yet suddenly around a corner behind a junction box a different language traces of a marginal existence secretive revealing itself sparingly Is it an appeal from those who donrsquot recognise themselves in this city a questioning of the established order Or is it quite simply life

Under the Skies of AhmedabadWhilst preparing for a residency in Ahmedabad India I began to familiarize myself with the location and the city by viewing and exploring the city through satellite images from Google Earth
Google Earth offers views of cities and streets in great detail they appear tantalizingly close and yet the experience is strangely alienating What I became interested in were images beyond the map at the margin images that reveal how it feels to live in the city the emotional experiences that make up the ritual of the everyday This is a different kind of map not lsquorealityrsquo modeled on spatial information but on lived experience of space and place

Robby Wild (Notes of Seclusion and Desolation)While part of everyday life there are things that we still do not notice our lack of understanding pushing things to the marginshellipIn the handmade artistsrsquo book Robby Wilde (inspired by a novel based on a true story) a paranoid schizophrenic boy feels disconnected and alone the isolation being the worst thing of all I selected sections distilling the storyrsquos essence and illustrated them symbolically
lsquoI think back to one of the early astronauts when he was beaming descriptive messages back to the listening Earth At one point he said ldquoWe are moving towards darkness all the timerdquo Unlike him Irsquom not moving anywhere Darkness is moving towards me all the timersquo (Voices of Robby Wilde)

ShorelineMy books are sensual Their subject matter is primarily focussed on the conceptualisation of the garden and the landscape Nature is so evocative of the human condition The book in its materiality and physical properties are integral to its reading providing the reader with an intimate and sensory experience with nature which engages them in reflecting on the natural worldA book which reflects on the shoreline where the land meets the sea and the sky sometimes clearly visible and at others indistinguishable The physicality of the book in its long slow paced format and its tactile surface qualities engage the reader in a reflective and sensual reading of the beauty of this landscape

TERRAINS VAGUESOn the margins of a town you find lsquoTerrains Vaguesrsquo a sort of no-mans land without any rules or structureThe Danish composer Per Noslashrgaringrd has written a piece of music called Terrains Vagues which is the inspiration for my book I hear the music as the place where all forces of mankind are expressed in true extremes I hear a tremendous horror but also an inherent poetic powerMankind represents devastation disasters and dissonance but hardworking inventiveness and enterprise tooI hear setback step backwards and forwards I also hear beauty and hope rising to the sky

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

On the Margins ndash Waiting to be asked to danceCulturally in England at parties or weddings women begin the dancing whilst men watch drink and join in later Over the years I have attended many different types of dance classes In the confines of a dance or lsquofreestylersquo event the social rules change Women wait on the margins of the dancefloor to be asked to dance We demonstrate our willingness to dance by dancing on the spot The book shows the waiting feet shuffling tapping and enjoying the music eventually make a reverse turn into the path of a partner The book opens up into a dance that can also be seen as a man bowingThe beak book is housed in a dance cardAlso exhibiting the Pop-Up book Over On and Under

HiddenHidden is an artistsrsquo book created by Marianne Laimer in 2012 The book is designed as a game to entice the viewer to stop find and explore the hidden Hide and seek masks a deeper meaning where the game turns into something more serious Who exactly is hiding out in the margins of the fictional community room As in previous Laimer book works there are shadow-motifs and subtle references to other literatureThe material used is 160g Fabriano Tiziano paper flax for sewing and a minimal amount of glue has been used for mounting The motifs are cut by hand

Leo GrindonI discovered the work of Leo Grindon a local botanist during study at The Manchester Herbarium A philanthropist Grindon worked tirelessly with lsquomarginalizedrsquo people in and around the North West of England to engage them with plants of all varieties His archives are now housed in the Herbarium although his handwritten word is still illegible My book is a small tribute to his pioneering work in adult education and for the inspiration he brought to local people in 1852

Single Ward FeaturesFloating like lonely Islands the separated wards of the town where I was born are the content of the first chapter of this book
Using poetic language found in the appropriated text of an official government document I have loosely bound together a fractured representation of this single place
Exploring the beauty of cartography and language and the crossover between authenticity and ambiguity
In fragmenting these factual details I hope to create a canvas for the imagination

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

The artist presents a new fable involving work by Henrik Westergaard and Deborah Damgaard-Hansen
Transformation what takes place between the artist and the audiencelsquoFrom being one thing and to then become something elsersquo someone once said in a playHenrik Westergaardrsquos sculptures existed in his universe and then - one summer morning - became something totally different in mineArtists paint different things ndash unhappy children water lilies pandas abstract chickens or a Ford Anglia All art has its own mark and expression Our tastes and needs lead to the art we find most fascinating The book lsquoDen sandfaeligrdige historie om Havloslashven ved Hanstholm Fyrtaringrnrsquo (The true story about the Sea Lion at the lighthouse in Hanstholm) came about through a transformation involving Henrikrsquos bronze figures and Deborahrsquos beautiful drawings It is about your life and my life and how life ends Do we become ill if we donrsquot behave or do we carry on

BindingI learned traditional bookbinding but soon became rather dissatisfied with it I moved on to artistic books which allow me to say and express things more personally seeking and creating unity between form and content

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

I only want what I canrsquot haveThis personal book explores the way in which an image is made fragmented and lost both physically and mentally The ideas were formed around the recent death of my Mother and also the end of a personal relationship I wanted to capture the feeling of loss and the information we are left with when something ends There is a mix of images including images of roses from my Motherrsquos garden and the trees she could see from her sitting room window There are also images of a bullfight in Barcelona a spectacle that also has just ended

Flying Summer Flyvende SommerIs the poetic Danish expression for the way little spiders travel in late summer They begin by crawling out to the edge of a leaf for example and spinning a thin thread When it is long enough even the slightest breath of air is enough to catch it and lift the spider into the air to float away
As this has always been a metaphor for freedom courage and faith to me my book is an invitation to go to the edge and seek adventureshellip

Under the Skies of AhmedabadWhilst preparing for a residency in Ahmedabad India I began to familiarize myself with the location and the city by viewing and exploring the city through satellite images from Google Earth
Google Earth offers views of cities and streets in great detail they appear tantalizingly close and yet the experience is strangely alienating What I became interested in were images beyond the map at the margin images that reveal how it feels to live in the city the emotional experiences that make up the ritual of the everyday This is a different kind of map not lsquorealityrsquo modeled on spatial information but on lived experience of space and place

Robby Wild (Notes of Seclusion and Desolation)While part of everyday life there are things that we still do not notice our lack of understanding pushing things to the marginshellipIn the handmade artistsrsquo book Robby Wilde (inspired by a novel based on a true story) a paranoid schizophrenic boy feels disconnected and alone the isolation being the worst thing of all I selected sections distilling the storyrsquos essence and illustrated them symbolically
lsquoI think back to one of the early astronauts when he was beaming descriptive messages back to the listening Earth At one point he said ldquoWe are moving towards darkness all the timerdquo Unlike him Irsquom not moving anywhere Darkness is moving towards me all the timersquo (Voices of Robby Wilde)

ShorelineMy books are sensual Their subject matter is primarily focussed on the conceptualisation of the garden and the landscape Nature is so evocative of the human condition The book in its materiality and physical properties are integral to its reading providing the reader with an intimate and sensory experience with nature which engages them in reflecting on the natural worldA book which reflects on the shoreline where the land meets the sea and the sky sometimes clearly visible and at others indistinguishable The physicality of the book in its long slow paced format and its tactile surface qualities engage the reader in a reflective and sensual reading of the beauty of this landscape

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

On the Margins ndash Waiting to be asked to danceCulturally in England at parties or weddings women begin the dancing whilst men watch drink and join in later Over the years I have attended many different types of dance classes In the confines of a dance or lsquofreestylersquo event the social rules change Women wait on the margins of the dancefloor to be asked to dance We demonstrate our willingness to dance by dancing on the spot The book shows the waiting feet shuffling tapping and enjoying the music eventually make a reverse turn into the path of a partner The book opens up into a dance that can also be seen as a man bowingThe beak book is housed in a dance cardAlso exhibiting the Pop-Up book Over On and Under

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

I only want what I canrsquot haveThis personal book explores the way in which an image is made fragmented and lost both physically and mentally The ideas were formed around the recent death of my Mother and also the end of a personal relationship I wanted to capture the feeling of loss and the information we are left with when something ends There is a mix of images including images of roses from my Motherrsquos garden and the trees she could see from her sitting room window There are also images of a bullfight in Barcelona a spectacle that also has just ended

Flying Summer Flyvende SommerIs the poetic Danish expression for the way little spiders travel in late summer They begin by crawling out to the edge of a leaf for example and spinning a thin thread When it is long enough even the slightest breath of air is enough to catch it and lift the spider into the air to float away
As this has always been a metaphor for freedom courage and faith to me my book is an invitation to go to the edge and seek adventureshellip

Under the Skies of AhmedabadWhilst preparing for a residency in Ahmedabad India I began to familiarize myself with the location and the city by viewing and exploring the city through satellite images from Google Earth
Google Earth offers views of cities and streets in great detail they appear tantalizingly close and yet the experience is strangely alienating What I became interested in were images beyond the map at the margin images that reveal how it feels to live in the city the emotional experiences that make up the ritual of the everyday This is a different kind of map not lsquorealityrsquo modeled on spatial information but on lived experience of space and place

Robby Wild (Notes of Seclusion and Desolation)While part of everyday life there are things that we still do not notice our lack of understanding pushing things to the marginshellipIn the handmade artistsrsquo book Robby Wilde (inspired by a novel based on a true story) a paranoid schizophrenic boy feels disconnected and alone the isolation being the worst thing of all I selected sections distilling the storyrsquos essence and illustrated them symbolically
lsquoI think back to one of the early astronauts when he was beaming descriptive messages back to the listening Earth At one point he said ldquoWe are moving towards darkness all the timerdquo Unlike him Irsquom not moving anywhere Darkness is moving towards me all the timersquo (Voices of Robby Wilde)

ShorelineMy books are sensual Their subject matter is primarily focussed on the conceptualisation of the garden and the landscape Nature is so evocative of the human condition The book in its materiality and physical properties are integral to its reading providing the reader with an intimate and sensory experience with nature which engages them in reflecting on the natural worldA book which reflects on the shoreline where the land meets the sea and the sky sometimes clearly visible and at others indistinguishable The physicality of the book in its long slow paced format and its tactile surface qualities engage the reader in a reflective and sensual reading of the beauty of this landscape

TERRAINS VAGUESOn the margins of a town you find lsquoTerrains Vaguesrsquo a sort of no-mans land without any rules or structureThe Danish composer Per Noslashrgaringrd has written a piece of music called Terrains Vagues which is the inspiration for my book I hear the music as the place where all forces of mankind are expressed in true extremes I hear a tremendous horror but also an inherent poetic powerMankind represents devastation disasters and dissonance but hardworking inventiveness and enterprise tooI hear setback step backwards and forwards I also hear beauty and hope rising to the sky

inside MARGINLook at a map of mainland Denmark and more specifically look at the coastal margins of that land What if this indented coast was in some way unfolded straightened out to form a single directional lineThe resulting image would turn the margin into a central spine around which both land and sea are anchored

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

On the Margins ndash Waiting to be asked to danceCulturally in England at parties or weddings women begin the dancing whilst men watch drink and join in later Over the years I have attended many different types of dance classes In the confines of a dance or lsquofreestylersquo event the social rules change Women wait on the margins of the dancefloor to be asked to dance We demonstrate our willingness to dance by dancing on the spot The book shows the waiting feet shuffling tapping and enjoying the music eventually make a reverse turn into the path of a partner The book opens up into a dance that can also be seen as a man bowingThe beak book is housed in a dance cardAlso exhibiting the Pop-Up book Over On and Under

Using poetic language found in the appropriated text of an official government document I have loosely bound together a fractured representation of this single place

In fragmenting these factual details I hope to create a canvas for the imagination

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

Exclusion of special individuals people groups ndash the refusing of human achievements will always lead to problems and war

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

In de marge on the marginLines and patterns have fascinated me for a long time I started manipulating calligraphic pens and all sorts of writing materials forming traces and structures with little details that carry the vulnerability of the moment This work-flow became my language the language in which I could express myselfIn this work I filled the margins and left out the centre the readable words The sometimes-fragile images and lines show what it can mean to live on the margin of Life

Along the greenwayWalking around my neighbourhood I enjoy looking out for lost and discarded ephemera I find most pieces up against the edges of the urban streets and particularly along my local greenway a neglected freight rail and canal corridor Here feral wildlife make home and travel through without being disturbed or noticed by the suburban life of a big city Along this fringe are also human stragglers whose presence I am compelled to record in the intimacy of an artistrsquos book

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

I only want what I canrsquot haveThis personal book explores the way in which an image is made fragmented and lost both physically and mentally The ideas were formed around the recent death of my Mother and also the end of a personal relationship I wanted to capture the feeling of loss and the information we are left with when something ends There is a mix of images including images of roses from my Motherrsquos garden and the trees she could see from her sitting room window There are also images of a bullfight in Barcelona a spectacle that also has just ended

Flying Summer Flyvende SommerIs the poetic Danish expression for the way little spiders travel in late summer They begin by crawling out to the edge of a leaf for example and spinning a thin thread When it is long enough even the slightest breath of air is enough to catch it and lift the spider into the air to float away
As this has always been a metaphor for freedom courage and faith to me my book is an invitation to go to the edge and seek adventureshellip

Under the Skies of AhmedabadWhilst preparing for a residency in Ahmedabad India I began to familiarize myself with the location and the city by viewing and exploring the city through satellite images from Google Earth
Google Earth offers views of cities and streets in great detail they appear tantalizingly close and yet the experience is strangely alienating What I became interested in were images beyond the map at the margin images that reveal how it feels to live in the city the emotional experiences that make up the ritual of the everyday This is a different kind of map not lsquorealityrsquo modeled on spatial information but on lived experience of space and place

Robby Wild (Notes of Seclusion and Desolation)While part of everyday life there are things that we still do not notice our lack of understanding pushing things to the marginshellipIn the handmade artistsrsquo book Robby Wilde (inspired by a novel based on a true story) a paranoid schizophrenic boy feels disconnected and alone the isolation being the worst thing of all I selected sections distilling the storyrsquos essence and illustrated them symbolically
lsquoI think back to one of the early astronauts when he was beaming descriptive messages back to the listening Earth At one point he said ldquoWe are moving towards darkness all the timerdquo Unlike him Irsquom not moving anywhere Darkness is moving towards me all the timersquo (Voices of Robby Wilde)

ShorelineMy books are sensual Their subject matter is primarily focussed on the conceptualisation of the garden and the landscape Nature is so evocative of the human condition The book in its materiality and physical properties are integral to its reading providing the reader with an intimate and sensory experience with nature which engages them in reflecting on the natural worldA book which reflects on the shoreline where the land meets the sea and the sky sometimes clearly visible and at others indistinguishable The physicality of the book in its long slow paced format and its tactile surface qualities engage the reader in a reflective and sensual reading of the beauty of this landscape

TERRAINS VAGUESOn the margins of a town you find lsquoTerrains Vaguesrsquo a sort of no-mans land without any rules or structureThe Danish composer Per Noslashrgaringrd has written a piece of music called Terrains Vagues which is the inspiration for my book I hear the music as the place where all forces of mankind are expressed in true extremes I hear a tremendous horror but also an inherent poetic powerMankind represents devastation disasters and dissonance but hardworking inventiveness and enterprise tooI hear setback step backwards and forwards I also hear beauty and hope rising to the sky

UtkantslivUtkantsliv (Swedish for life on the outskirts or life on the margins) is an exploration of an unknown entity for me in my home town of Stockholm ndash a place now strangely unfamiliar to me after years abroadI started discovering these anonymous areas on the outskirts of the city mainly just houseshousing blocks sprung up in close proximity to public transport I got very interested in these lsquohinterlandsrsquo their strange careless mix of nature and industrial elementsThis book is the result of walks through one of these areas The photographs are purposefully anonymous and up-close void of people and wider context a highly personal view and examination of somewhere strangely impersonal and interchangeable

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

Geschlossene Gesellschaft Private partyEvery society is a mix-up of many different groups and individuals To develop and fulfil evolution it needs a range of differences we have to see that both nationally and globally
Exclusion of special individuals people groups ndash the refusing of human achievements will always lead to problems and war
Segregation takes place gradually and we all have to be alert to the first signs of marginalization

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

In de marge on the marginLines and patterns have fascinated me for a long time I started manipulating calligraphic pens and all sorts of writing materials forming traces and structures with little details that carry the vulnerability of the moment This work-flow became my language the language in which I could express myselfIn this work I filled the margins and left out the centre the readable words The sometimes-fragile images and lines show what it can mean to live on the margin of Life

Along the greenwayWalking around my neighbourhood I enjoy looking out for lost and discarded ephemera I find most pieces up against the edges of the urban streets and particularly along my local greenway a neglected freight rail and canal corridor Here feral wildlife make home and travel through without being disturbed or noticed by the suburban life of a big city Along this fringe are also human stragglers whose presence I am compelled to record in the intimacy of an artistrsquos book

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

I only want what I canrsquot haveThis personal book explores the way in which an image is made fragmented and lost both physically and mentally The ideas were formed around the recent death of my Mother and also the end of a personal relationship I wanted to capture the feeling of loss and the information we are left with when something ends There is a mix of images including images of roses from my Motherrsquos garden and the trees she could see from her sitting room window There are also images of a bullfight in Barcelona a spectacle that also has just ended

Flying Summer Flyvende SommerIs the poetic Danish expression for the way little spiders travel in late summer They begin by crawling out to the edge of a leaf for example and spinning a thin thread When it is long enough even the slightest breath of air is enough to catch it and lift the spider into the air to float away
As this has always been a metaphor for freedom courage and faith to me my book is an invitation to go to the edge and seek adventureshellip

TALLINN HISTORY MARGINALTallinn is an amazingly well-preserved city never destroyed The walls date from the Middle Ages and the towers and belfries are well-restored gemshellip Yet suddenly around a corner behind a junction box a different language traces of a marginal existence secretive revealing itself sparingly Is it an appeal from those who donrsquot recognise themselves in this city a questioning of the established order Or is it quite simply life

Under the Skies of AhmedabadWhilst preparing for a residency in Ahmedabad India I began to familiarize myself with the location and the city by viewing and exploring the city through satellite images from Google Earth
Google Earth offers views of cities and streets in great detail they appear tantalizingly close and yet the experience is strangely alienating What I became interested in were images beyond the map at the margin images that reveal how it feels to live in the city the emotional experiences that make up the ritual of the everyday This is a different kind of map not lsquorealityrsquo modeled on spatial information but on lived experience of space and place

Robby Wild (Notes of Seclusion and Desolation)While part of everyday life there are things that we still do not notice our lack of understanding pushing things to the marginshellipIn the handmade artistsrsquo book Robby Wilde (inspired by a novel based on a true story) a paranoid schizophrenic boy feels disconnected and alone the isolation being the worst thing of all I selected sections distilling the storyrsquos essence and illustrated them symbolically
lsquoI think back to one of the early astronauts when he was beaming descriptive messages back to the listening Earth At one point he said ldquoWe are moving towards darkness all the timerdquo Unlike him Irsquom not moving anywhere Darkness is moving towards me all the timersquo (Voices of Robby Wilde)

ShorelineMy books are sensual Their subject matter is primarily focussed on the conceptualisation of the garden and the landscape Nature is so evocative of the human condition The book in its materiality and physical properties are integral to its reading providing the reader with an intimate and sensory experience with nature which engages them in reflecting on the natural worldA book which reflects on the shoreline where the land meets the sea and the sky sometimes clearly visible and at others indistinguishable The physicality of the book in its long slow paced format and its tactile surface qualities engage the reader in a reflective and sensual reading of the beauty of this landscape

TERRAINS VAGUESOn the margins of a town you find lsquoTerrains Vaguesrsquo a sort of no-mans land without any rules or structureThe Danish composer Per Noslashrgaringrd has written a piece of music called Terrains Vagues which is the inspiration for my book I hear the music as the place where all forces of mankind are expressed in true extremes I hear a tremendous horror but also an inherent poetic powerMankind represents devastation disasters and dissonance but hardworking inventiveness and enterprise tooI hear setback step backwards and forwards I also hear beauty and hope rising to the sky

UtkantslivUtkantsliv (Swedish for life on the outskirts or life on the margins) is an exploration of an unknown entity for me in my home town of Stockholm ndash a place now strangely unfamiliar to me after years abroadI started discovering these anonymous areas on the outskirts of the city mainly just houseshousing blocks sprung up in close proximity to public transport I got very interested in these lsquohinterlandsrsquo their strange careless mix of nature and industrial elementsThis book is the result of walks through one of these areas The photographs are purposefully anonymous and up-close void of people and wider context a highly personal view and examination of somewhere strangely impersonal and interchangeable

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

FRIEND a fantastic and grim storyHere are grim tales from the margins of life and the outskirts of existence Wild and intense yet also heartfelt calm and gentle
After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I leave a wide margin on my lifeWhat I do how I live how I think what I look like how I live with my loved ones the house I live in all that is on the margins ndash of a society whose centre is obsessed with only income and more power and more status more and more and more Yet this life on the edge is not a dull dingy life but one with a lot of laughter children friends ndash a fun-loving life What things tell of such a life My book is lyrical documentary told with collected ephemera drawings and texts

On the marginWhere decay initiates new growth ndash Where change shows more reluctantly ndash Where fruit grows for everyone ndash Where invisible eyes follow you ndash Where something new keeps appearing ndash Where thoughts hover in the air ndash Where no flags mark property ndash Where the eye cannot be detained ndash Where striving is searching ndash Where straight lines have no place ndash Where paths get lost ndash Where the clouds drift lower ndash Where birds form spirals in the air ndash
Where you feel at homebecause here you can lose yourselfbecause here you can find yourself

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

Exclusion of special individuals people groups ndash the refusing of human achievements will always lead to problems and war
Segregation takes place gradually and we all have to be alert to the first signs of marginalization

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

In de marge on the marginLines and patterns have fascinated me for a long time I started manipulating calligraphic pens and all sorts of writing materials forming traces and structures with little details that carry the vulnerability of the moment This work-flow became my language the language in which I could express myselfIn this work I filled the margins and left out the centre the readable words The sometimes-fragile images and lines show what it can mean to live on the margin of Life

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Flying Summer Flyvende SommerIs the poetic Danish expression for the way little spiders travel in late summer They begin by crawling out to the edge of a leaf for example and spinning a thin thread When it is long enough even the slightest breath of air is enough to catch it and lift the spider into the air to float away
As this has always been a metaphor for freedom courage and faith to me my book is an invitation to go to the edge and seek adventureshellip

TALLINN HISTORY MARGINALTallinn is an amazingly well-preserved city never destroyed The walls date from the Middle Ages and the towers and belfries are well-restored gemshellip Yet suddenly around a corner behind a junction box a different language traces of a marginal existence secretive revealing itself sparingly Is it an appeal from those who donrsquot recognise themselves in this city a questioning of the established order Or is it quite simply life

Under the Skies of AhmedabadWhilst preparing for a residency in Ahmedabad India I began to familiarize myself with the location and the city by viewing and exploring the city through satellite images from Google Earth
Google Earth offers views of cities and streets in great detail they appear tantalizingly close and yet the experience is strangely alienating What I became interested in were images beyond the map at the margin images that reveal how it feels to live in the city the emotional experiences that make up the ritual of the everyday This is a different kind of map not lsquorealityrsquo modeled on spatial information but on lived experience of space and place

Robby Wild (Notes of Seclusion and Desolation)While part of everyday life there are things that we still do not notice our lack of understanding pushing things to the marginshellipIn the handmade artistsrsquo book Robby Wilde (inspired by a novel based on a true story) a paranoid schizophrenic boy feels disconnected and alone the isolation being the worst thing of all I selected sections distilling the storyrsquos essence and illustrated them symbolically
lsquoI think back to one of the early astronauts when he was beaming descriptive messages back to the listening Earth At one point he said ldquoWe are moving towards darkness all the timerdquo Unlike him Irsquom not moving anywhere Darkness is moving towards me all the timersquo (Voices of Robby Wilde)

ShorelineMy books are sensual Their subject matter is primarily focussed on the conceptualisation of the garden and the landscape Nature is so evocative of the human condition The book in its materiality and physical properties are integral to its reading providing the reader with an intimate and sensory experience with nature which engages them in reflecting on the natural worldA book which reflects on the shoreline where the land meets the sea and the sky sometimes clearly visible and at others indistinguishable The physicality of the book in its long slow paced format and its tactile surface qualities engage the reader in a reflective and sensual reading of the beauty of this landscape

TERRAINS VAGUESOn the margins of a town you find lsquoTerrains Vaguesrsquo a sort of no-mans land without any rules or structureThe Danish composer Per Noslashrgaringrd has written a piece of music called Terrains Vagues which is the inspiration for my book I hear the music as the place where all forces of mankind are expressed in true extremes I hear a tremendous horror but also an inherent poetic powerMankind represents devastation disasters and dissonance but hardworking inventiveness and enterprise tooI hear setback step backwards and forwards I also hear beauty and hope rising to the sky

UtkantslivUtkantsliv (Swedish for life on the outskirts or life on the margins) is an exploration of an unknown entity for me in my home town of Stockholm ndash a place now strangely unfamiliar to me after years abroadI started discovering these anonymous areas on the outskirts of the city mainly just houseshousing blocks sprung up in close proximity to public transport I got very interested in these lsquohinterlandsrsquo their strange careless mix of nature and industrial elementsThis book is the result of walks through one of these areas The photographs are purposefully anonymous and up-close void of people and wider context a highly personal view and examination of somewhere strangely impersonal and interchangeable

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

In fragmenting these factual details I hope to create a canvas for the imagination

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

FRIEND a fantastic and grim storyHere are grim tales from the margins of life and the outskirts of existence Wild and intense yet also heartfelt calm and gentle
After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

As before we are very grateful to all of the artists who have given their time and skills to participate in our events Because of them we now have an international Book Arts Festival which seems to grow each year
Special thanks to Norwegian Tommelise Haldrup Pettersen 2011 First Prize winner of the Doverodde Book Arts Center of Denmark Award for suggesting our 2012 theme UdkantSarah Bodman from The University of West England provided the translation On the margins Thanks to her for all her support
And while the Limfjordscentret may be situated on the margins of Denmark we have still gathered artists from around the world to participate in our latest new Festival venture the Artistsrsquo Books Anonymous On the margins SymposiumProminent artists have travelled to us from across the world to share their knowledge and art Thank you to our two Keynote speakers from Canada Maureen Piggins and Ewa Monika Zebrowski We are also glad to welcome American artists Doug Beube and Tatiana Ginsberg and Jesvin Yeo from Singapore Finally travelling from the UK are Sylvia Waltering and Lucy May SchofieldSuch an international list can only enlighten us to the global diversity and expertise in the field of book arts Additional thanks for helping select our Symposium candidates to the British panel Sarah Bodman Angie Butler Andrew Eason Linda Newington Mike Nicholson and Tom Sowden
Our other new experiment is the Writer-in-Residency project for which we were lucky to secure British poet and printmaker Nancy Campbell She has brought new life to Doverodde

TALLINN HISTORY MARGINALTallinn is an amazingly well-preserved city never destroyed The walls date from the Middle Ages and the towers and belfries are well-restored gemshellip Yet suddenly around a corner behind a junction box a different language traces of a marginal existence secretive revealing itself sparingly Is it an appeal from those who donrsquot recognise themselves in this city a questioning of the established order Or is it quite simply life

Under the Skies of AhmedabadWhilst preparing for a residency in Ahmedabad India I began to familiarize myself with the location and the city by viewing and exploring the city through satellite images from Google Earth
Google Earth offers views of cities and streets in great detail they appear tantalizingly close and yet the experience is strangely alienating What I became interested in were images beyond the map at the margin images that reveal how it feels to live in the city the emotional experiences that make up the ritual of the everyday This is a different kind of map not lsquorealityrsquo modeled on spatial information but on lived experience of space and place

Robby Wild (Notes of Seclusion and Desolation)While part of everyday life there are things that we still do not notice our lack of understanding pushing things to the marginshellipIn the handmade artistsrsquo book Robby Wilde (inspired by a novel based on a true story) a paranoid schizophrenic boy feels disconnected and alone the isolation being the worst thing of all I selected sections distilling the storyrsquos essence and illustrated them symbolically
lsquoI think back to one of the early astronauts when he was beaming descriptive messages back to the listening Earth At one point he said ldquoWe are moving towards darkness all the timerdquo Unlike him Irsquom not moving anywhere Darkness is moving towards me all the timersquo (Voices of Robby Wilde)

ShorelineMy books are sensual Their subject matter is primarily focussed on the conceptualisation of the garden and the landscape Nature is so evocative of the human condition The book in its materiality and physical properties are integral to its reading providing the reader with an intimate and sensory experience with nature which engages them in reflecting on the natural worldA book which reflects on the shoreline where the land meets the sea and the sky sometimes clearly visible and at others indistinguishable The physicality of the book in its long slow paced format and its tactile surface qualities engage the reader in a reflective and sensual reading of the beauty of this landscape

TERRAINS VAGUESOn the margins of a town you find lsquoTerrains Vaguesrsquo a sort of no-mans land without any rules or structureThe Danish composer Per Noslashrgaringrd has written a piece of music called Terrains Vagues which is the inspiration for my book I hear the music as the place where all forces of mankind are expressed in true extremes I hear a tremendous horror but also an inherent poetic powerMankind represents devastation disasters and dissonance but hardworking inventiveness and enterprise tooI hear setback step backwards and forwards I also hear beauty and hope rising to the sky

UtkantslivUtkantsliv (Swedish for life on the outskirts or life on the margins) is an exploration of an unknown entity for me in my home town of Stockholm ndash a place now strangely unfamiliar to me after years abroadI started discovering these anonymous areas on the outskirts of the city mainly just houseshousing blocks sprung up in close proximity to public transport I got very interested in these lsquohinterlandsrsquo their strange careless mix of nature and industrial elementsThis book is the result of walks through one of these areas The photographs are purposefully anonymous and up-close void of people and wider context a highly personal view and examination of somewhere strangely impersonal and interchangeable

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

HiddenHidden is an artistsrsquo book created by Marianne Laimer in 2012 The book is designed as a game to entice the viewer to stop find and explore the hidden Hide and seek masks a deeper meaning where the game turns into something more serious Who exactly is hiding out in the margins of the fictional community room As in previous Laimer book works there are shadow-motifs and subtle references to other literatureThe material used is 160g Fabriano Tiziano paper flax for sewing and a minimal amount of glue has been used for mounting The motifs are cut by hand

Leo GrindonI discovered the work of Leo Grindon a local botanist during study at The Manchester Herbarium A philanthropist Grindon worked tirelessly with lsquomarginalizedrsquo people in and around the North West of England to engage them with plants of all varieties His archives are now housed in the Herbarium although his handwritten word is still illegible My book is a small tribute to his pioneering work in adult education and for the inspiration he brought to local people in 1852

Single Ward FeaturesFloating like lonely Islands the separated wards of the town where I was born are the content of the first chapter of this book
Using poetic language found in the appropriated text of an official government document I have loosely bound together a fractured representation of this single place
Exploring the beauty of cartography and language and the crossover between authenticity and ambiguity
In fragmenting these factual details I hope to create a canvas for the imagination

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

FRIEND a fantastic and grim storyHere are grim tales from the margins of life and the outskirts of existence Wild and intense yet also heartfelt calm and gentle
After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

On the marginWhere decay initiates new growth ndash Where change shows more reluctantly ndash Where fruit grows for everyone ndash Where invisible eyes follow you ndash Where something new keeps appearing ndash Where thoughts hover in the air ndash Where no flags mark property ndash Where the eye cannot be detained ndash Where striving is searching ndash Where straight lines have no place ndash Where paths get lost ndash Where the clouds drift lower ndash Where birds form spirals in the air ndash
Where you feel at homebecause here you can lose yourselfbecause here you can find yourself

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

Exclusion of special individuals people groups ndash the refusing of human achievements will always lead to problems and war

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

As before we are very grateful to all of the artists who have given their time and skills to participate in our events Because of them we now have an international Book Arts Festival which seems to grow each year

Our other new experiment is the Writer-in-Residency project for which we were lucky to secure British poet and printmaker Nancy Campbell She has brought new life to Doverodde

TALLINN HISTORY MARGINALTallinn is an amazingly well-preserved city never destroyed The walls date from the Middle Ages and the towers and belfries are well-restored gemshellip Yet suddenly around a corner behind a junction box a different language traces of a marginal existence secretive revealing itself sparingly Is it an appeal from those who donrsquot recognise themselves in this city a questioning of the established order Or is it quite simply life

Under the Skies of AhmedabadWhilst preparing for a residency in Ahmedabad India I began to familiarize myself with the location and the city by viewing and exploring the city through satellite images from Google Earth
Google Earth offers views of cities and streets in great detail they appear tantalizingly close and yet the experience is strangely alienating What I became interested in were images beyond the map at the margin images that reveal how it feels to live in the city the emotional experiences that make up the ritual of the everyday This is a different kind of map not lsquorealityrsquo modeled on spatial information but on lived experience of space and place

Robby Wild (Notes of Seclusion and Desolation)While part of everyday life there are things that we still do not notice our lack of understanding pushing things to the marginshellipIn the handmade artistsrsquo book Robby Wilde (inspired by a novel based on a true story) a paranoid schizophrenic boy feels disconnected and alone the isolation being the worst thing of all I selected sections distilling the storyrsquos essence and illustrated them symbolically
lsquoI think back to one of the early astronauts when he was beaming descriptive messages back to the listening Earth At one point he said ldquoWe are moving towards darkness all the timerdquo Unlike him Irsquom not moving anywhere Darkness is moving towards me all the timersquo (Voices of Robby Wilde)

ShorelineMy books are sensual Their subject matter is primarily focussed on the conceptualisation of the garden and the landscape Nature is so evocative of the human condition The book in its materiality and physical properties are integral to its reading providing the reader with an intimate and sensory experience with nature which engages them in reflecting on the natural worldA book which reflects on the shoreline where the land meets the sea and the sky sometimes clearly visible and at others indistinguishable The physicality of the book in its long slow paced format and its tactile surface qualities engage the reader in a reflective and sensual reading of the beauty of this landscape

TERRAINS VAGUESOn the margins of a town you find lsquoTerrains Vaguesrsquo a sort of no-mans land without any rules or structureThe Danish composer Per Noslashrgaringrd has written a piece of music called Terrains Vagues which is the inspiration for my book I hear the music as the place where all forces of mankind are expressed in true extremes I hear a tremendous horror but also an inherent poetic powerMankind represents devastation disasters and dissonance but hardworking inventiveness and enterprise tooI hear setback step backwards and forwards I also hear beauty and hope rising to the sky

UtkantslivUtkantsliv (Swedish for life on the outskirts or life on the margins) is an exploration of an unknown entity for me in my home town of Stockholm ndash a place now strangely unfamiliar to me after years abroadI started discovering these anonymous areas on the outskirts of the city mainly just houseshousing blocks sprung up in close proximity to public transport I got very interested in these lsquohinterlandsrsquo their strange careless mix of nature and industrial elementsThis book is the result of walks through one of these areas The photographs are purposefully anonymous and up-close void of people and wider context a highly personal view and examination of somewhere strangely impersonal and interchangeable

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

Leo GrindonI discovered the work of Leo Grindon a local botanist during study at The Manchester Herbarium A philanthropist Grindon worked tirelessly with lsquomarginalizedrsquo people in and around the North West of England to engage them with plants of all varieties His archives are now housed in the Herbarium although his handwritten word is still illegible My book is a small tribute to his pioneering work in adult education and for the inspiration he brought to local people in 1852

Single Ward FeaturesFloating like lonely Islands the separated wards of the town where I was born are the content of the first chapter of this book
Using poetic language found in the appropriated text of an official government document I have loosely bound together a fractured representation of this single place
Exploring the beauty of cartography and language and the crossover between authenticity and ambiguity
In fragmenting these factual details I hope to create a canvas for the imagination

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

FRIEND a fantastic and grim storyHere are grim tales from the margins of life and the outskirts of existence Wild and intense yet also heartfelt calm and gentle
After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

BindingI learned traditional bookbinding but soon became rather dissatisfied with it I moved on to artistic books which allow me to say and express things more personally seeking and creating unity between form and content
Mail ArtI started doing mail art more than sixteen years agoIt is a form of exchange of surprising and enriching meetings tooIt is also a way of putting across an opinion unasked

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

As before we are very grateful to all of the artists who have given their time and skills to participate in our events Because of them we now have an international Book Arts Festival which seems to grow each year
Special thanks to Norwegian Tommelise Haldrup Pettersen 2011 First Prize winner of the Doverodde Book Arts Center of Denmark Award for suggesting our 2012 theme UdkantSarah Bodman from The University of West England provided the translation On the margins Thanks to her for all her support
And while the Limfjordscentret may be situated on the margins of Denmark we have still gathered artists from around the world to participate in our latest new Festival venture the Artistsrsquo Books Anonymous On the margins SymposiumProminent artists have travelled to us from across the world to share their knowledge and art Thank you to our two Keynote speakers from Canada Maureen Piggins and Ewa Monika Zebrowski We are also glad to welcome American artists Doug Beube and Tatiana Ginsberg and Jesvin Yeo from Singapore Finally travelling from the UK are Sylvia Waltering and Lucy May SchofieldSuch an international list can only enlighten us to the global diversity and expertise in the field of book arts Additional thanks for helping select our Symposium candidates to the British panel Sarah Bodman Angie Butler Andrew Eason Linda Newington Mike Nicholson and Tom Sowden
Our other new experiment is the Writer-in-Residency project for which we were lucky to secure British poet and printmaker Nancy Campbell She has brought new life to Doverodde

TALLINN HISTORY MARGINALTallinn is an amazingly well-preserved city never destroyed The walls date from the Middle Ages and the towers and belfries are well-restored gemshellip Yet suddenly around a corner behind a junction box a different language traces of a marginal existence secretive revealing itself sparingly Is it an appeal from those who donrsquot recognise themselves in this city a questioning of the established order Or is it quite simply life

Under the Skies of AhmedabadWhilst preparing for a residency in Ahmedabad India I began to familiarize myself with the location and the city by viewing and exploring the city through satellite images from Google Earth
Google Earth offers views of cities and streets in great detail they appear tantalizingly close and yet the experience is strangely alienating What I became interested in were images beyond the map at the margin images that reveal how it feels to live in the city the emotional experiences that make up the ritual of the everyday This is a different kind of map not lsquorealityrsquo modeled on spatial information but on lived experience of space and place

Robby Wild (Notes of Seclusion and Desolation)While part of everyday life there are things that we still do not notice our lack of understanding pushing things to the marginshellipIn the handmade artistsrsquo book Robby Wilde (inspired by a novel based on a true story) a paranoid schizophrenic boy feels disconnected and alone the isolation being the worst thing of all I selected sections distilling the storyrsquos essence and illustrated them symbolically
lsquoI think back to one of the early astronauts when he was beaming descriptive messages back to the listening Earth At one point he said ldquoWe are moving towards darkness all the timerdquo Unlike him Irsquom not moving anywhere Darkness is moving towards me all the timersquo (Voices of Robby Wilde)

ShorelineMy books are sensual Their subject matter is primarily focussed on the conceptualisation of the garden and the landscape Nature is so evocative of the human condition The book in its materiality and physical properties are integral to its reading providing the reader with an intimate and sensory experience with nature which engages them in reflecting on the natural worldA book which reflects on the shoreline where the land meets the sea and the sky sometimes clearly visible and at others indistinguishable The physicality of the book in its long slow paced format and its tactile surface qualities engage the reader in a reflective and sensual reading of the beauty of this landscape

TERRAINS VAGUESOn the margins of a town you find lsquoTerrains Vaguesrsquo a sort of no-mans land without any rules or structureThe Danish composer Per Noslashrgaringrd has written a piece of music called Terrains Vagues which is the inspiration for my book I hear the music as the place where all forces of mankind are expressed in true extremes I hear a tremendous horror but also an inherent poetic powerMankind represents devastation disasters and dissonance but hardworking inventiveness and enterprise tooI hear setback step backwards and forwards I also hear beauty and hope rising to the sky

UtkantslivUtkantsliv (Swedish for life on the outskirts or life on the margins) is an exploration of an unknown entity for me in my home town of Stockholm ndash a place now strangely unfamiliar to me after years abroadI started discovering these anonymous areas on the outskirts of the city mainly just houseshousing blocks sprung up in close proximity to public transport I got very interested in these lsquohinterlandsrsquo their strange careless mix of nature and industrial elementsThis book is the result of walks through one of these areas The photographs are purposefully anonymous and up-close void of people and wider context a highly personal view and examination of somewhere strangely impersonal and interchangeable

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

On the Margins ndash Waiting to be asked to danceCulturally in England at parties or weddings women begin the dancing whilst men watch drink and join in later Over the years I have attended many different types of dance classes In the confines of a dance or lsquofreestylersquo event the social rules change Women wait on the margins of the dancefloor to be asked to dance We demonstrate our willingness to dance by dancing on the spot The book shows the waiting feet shuffling tapping and enjoying the music eventually make a reverse turn into the path of a partner The book opens up into a dance that can also be seen as a man bowingThe beak book is housed in a dance cardAlso exhibiting the Pop-Up book Over On and Under

HiddenHidden is an artistsrsquo book created by Marianne Laimer in 2012 The book is designed as a game to entice the viewer to stop find and explore the hidden Hide and seek masks a deeper meaning where the game turns into something more serious Who exactly is hiding out in the margins of the fictional community room As in previous Laimer book works there are shadow-motifs and subtle references to other literatureThe material used is 160g Fabriano Tiziano paper flax for sewing and a minimal amount of glue has been used for mounting The motifs are cut by hand

Leo GrindonI discovered the work of Leo Grindon a local botanist during study at The Manchester Herbarium A philanthropist Grindon worked tirelessly with lsquomarginalizedrsquo people in and around the North West of England to engage them with plants of all varieties His archives are now housed in the Herbarium although his handwritten word is still illegible My book is a small tribute to his pioneering work in adult education and for the inspiration he brought to local people in 1852

Single Ward FeaturesFloating like lonely Islands the separated wards of the town where I was born are the content of the first chapter of this book
Using poetic language found in the appropriated text of an official government document I have loosely bound together a fractured representation of this single place
Exploring the beauty of cartography and language and the crossover between authenticity and ambiguity
In fragmenting these factual details I hope to create a canvas for the imagination

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

BindingI learned traditional bookbinding but soon became rather dissatisfied with it I moved on to artistic books which allow me to say and express things more personally seeking and creating unity between form and content
Mail ArtI started doing mail art more than sixteen years agoIt is a form of exchange of surprising and enriching meetings tooIt is also a way of putting across an opinion unasked

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Under the Skies of AhmedabadWhilst preparing for a residency in Ahmedabad India I began to familiarize myself with the location and the city by viewing and exploring the city through satellite images from Google Earth
Google Earth offers views of cities and streets in great detail they appear tantalizingly close and yet the experience is strangely alienating What I became interested in were images beyond the map at the margin images that reveal how it feels to live in the city the emotional experiences that make up the ritual of the everyday This is a different kind of map not lsquorealityrsquo modeled on spatial information but on lived experience of space and place

Robby Wild (Notes of Seclusion and Desolation)While part of everyday life there are things that we still do not notice our lack of understanding pushing things to the marginshellipIn the handmade artistsrsquo book Robby Wilde (inspired by a novel based on a true story) a paranoid schizophrenic boy feels disconnected and alone the isolation being the worst thing of all I selected sections distilling the storyrsquos essence and illustrated them symbolically
lsquoI think back to one of the early astronauts when he was beaming descriptive messages back to the listening Earth At one point he said ldquoWe are moving towards darkness all the timerdquo Unlike him Irsquom not moving anywhere Darkness is moving towards me all the timersquo (Voices of Robby Wilde)

ShorelineMy books are sensual Their subject matter is primarily focussed on the conceptualisation of the garden and the landscape Nature is so evocative of the human condition The book in its materiality and physical properties are integral to its reading providing the reader with an intimate and sensory experience with nature which engages them in reflecting on the natural worldA book which reflects on the shoreline where the land meets the sea and the sky sometimes clearly visible and at others indistinguishable The physicality of the book in its long slow paced format and its tactile surface qualities engage the reader in a reflective and sensual reading of the beauty of this landscape

TERRAINS VAGUESOn the margins of a town you find lsquoTerrains Vaguesrsquo a sort of no-mans land without any rules or structureThe Danish composer Per Noslashrgaringrd has written a piece of music called Terrains Vagues which is the inspiration for my book I hear the music as the place where all forces of mankind are expressed in true extremes I hear a tremendous horror but also an inherent poetic powerMankind represents devastation disasters and dissonance but hardworking inventiveness and enterprise tooI hear setback step backwards and forwards I also hear beauty and hope rising to the sky

UtkantslivUtkantsliv (Swedish for life on the outskirts or life on the margins) is an exploration of an unknown entity for me in my home town of Stockholm ndash a place now strangely unfamiliar to me after years abroadI started discovering these anonymous areas on the outskirts of the city mainly just houseshousing blocks sprung up in close proximity to public transport I got very interested in these lsquohinterlandsrsquo their strange careless mix of nature and industrial elementsThis book is the result of walks through one of these areas The photographs are purposefully anonymous and up-close void of people and wider context a highly personal view and examination of somewhere strangely impersonal and interchangeable

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

On the Margins ndash Waiting to be asked to danceCulturally in England at parties or weddings women begin the dancing whilst men watch drink and join in later Over the years I have attended many different types of dance classes In the confines of a dance or lsquofreestylersquo event the social rules change Women wait on the margins of the dancefloor to be asked to dance We demonstrate our willingness to dance by dancing on the spot The book shows the waiting feet shuffling tapping and enjoying the music eventually make a reverse turn into the path of a partner The book opens up into a dance that can also be seen as a man bowingThe beak book is housed in a dance cardAlso exhibiting the Pop-Up book Over On and Under

HiddenHidden is an artistsrsquo book created by Marianne Laimer in 2012 The book is designed as a game to entice the viewer to stop find and explore the hidden Hide and seek masks a deeper meaning where the game turns into something more serious Who exactly is hiding out in the margins of the fictional community room As in previous Laimer book works there are shadow-motifs and subtle references to other literatureThe material used is 160g Fabriano Tiziano paper flax for sewing and a minimal amount of glue has been used for mounting The motifs are cut by hand

Leo GrindonI discovered the work of Leo Grindon a local botanist during study at The Manchester Herbarium A philanthropist Grindon worked tirelessly with lsquomarginalizedrsquo people in and around the North West of England to engage them with plants of all varieties His archives are now housed in the Herbarium although his handwritten word is still illegible My book is a small tribute to his pioneering work in adult education and for the inspiration he brought to local people in 1852

Single Ward FeaturesFloating like lonely Islands the separated wards of the town where I was born are the content of the first chapter of this book
Using poetic language found in the appropriated text of an official government document I have loosely bound together a fractured representation of this single place
Exploring the beauty of cartography and language and the crossover between authenticity and ambiguity
In fragmenting these factual details I hope to create a canvas for the imagination

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

FRIEND a fantastic and grim storyHere are grim tales from the margins of life and the outskirts of existence Wild and intense yet also heartfelt calm and gentle
After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

BindingI learned traditional bookbinding but soon became rather dissatisfied with it I moved on to artistic books which allow me to say and express things more personally seeking and creating unity between form and content
Mail ArtI started doing mail art more than sixteen years agoIt is a form of exchange of surprising and enriching meetings tooIt is also a way of putting across an opinion unasked

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Robby Wild (Notes of Seclusion and Desolation)While part of everyday life there are things that we still do not notice our lack of understanding pushing things to the marginshellipIn the handmade artistsrsquo book Robby Wilde (inspired by a novel based on a true story) a paranoid schizophrenic boy feels disconnected and alone the isolation being the worst thing of all I selected sections distilling the storyrsquos essence and illustrated them symbolically
lsquoI think back to one of the early astronauts when he was beaming descriptive messages back to the listening Earth At one point he said ldquoWe are moving towards darkness all the timerdquo Unlike him Irsquom not moving anywhere Darkness is moving towards me all the timersquo (Voices of Robby Wilde)

ShorelineMy books are sensual Their subject matter is primarily focussed on the conceptualisation of the garden and the landscape Nature is so evocative of the human condition The book in its materiality and physical properties are integral to its reading providing the reader with an intimate and sensory experience with nature which engages them in reflecting on the natural worldA book which reflects on the shoreline where the land meets the sea and the sky sometimes clearly visible and at others indistinguishable The physicality of the book in its long slow paced format and its tactile surface qualities engage the reader in a reflective and sensual reading of the beauty of this landscape

TERRAINS VAGUESOn the margins of a town you find lsquoTerrains Vaguesrsquo a sort of no-mans land without any rules or structureThe Danish composer Per Noslashrgaringrd has written a piece of music called Terrains Vagues which is the inspiration for my book I hear the music as the place where all forces of mankind are expressed in true extremes I hear a tremendous horror but also an inherent poetic powerMankind represents devastation disasters and dissonance but hardworking inventiveness and enterprise tooI hear setback step backwards and forwards I also hear beauty and hope rising to the sky

UtkantslivUtkantsliv (Swedish for life on the outskirts or life on the margins) is an exploration of an unknown entity for me in my home town of Stockholm ndash a place now strangely unfamiliar to me after years abroadI started discovering these anonymous areas on the outskirts of the city mainly just houseshousing blocks sprung up in close proximity to public transport I got very interested in these lsquohinterlandsrsquo their strange careless mix of nature and industrial elementsThis book is the result of walks through one of these areas The photographs are purposefully anonymous and up-close void of people and wider context a highly personal view and examination of somewhere strangely impersonal and interchangeable

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

Leo GrindonI discovered the work of Leo Grindon a local botanist during study at The Manchester Herbarium A philanthropist Grindon worked tirelessly with lsquomarginalizedrsquo people in and around the North West of England to engage them with plants of all varieties His archives are now housed in the Herbarium although his handwritten word is still illegible My book is a small tribute to his pioneering work in adult education and for the inspiration he brought to local people in 1852

Single Ward FeaturesFloating like lonely Islands the separated wards of the town where I was born are the content of the first chapter of this book
Using poetic language found in the appropriated text of an official government document I have loosely bound together a fractured representation of this single place
Exploring the beauty of cartography and language and the crossover between authenticity and ambiguity
In fragmenting these factual details I hope to create a canvas for the imagination

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

BindingI learned traditional bookbinding but soon became rather dissatisfied with it I moved on to artistic books which allow me to say and express things more personally seeking and creating unity between form and content
Mail ArtI started doing mail art more than sixteen years agoIt is a form of exchange of surprising and enriching meetings tooIt is also a way of putting across an opinion unasked

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

ShorelineMy books are sensual Their subject matter is primarily focussed on the conceptualisation of the garden and the landscape Nature is so evocative of the human condition The book in its materiality and physical properties are integral to its reading providing the reader with an intimate and sensory experience with nature which engages them in reflecting on the natural worldA book which reflects on the shoreline where the land meets the sea and the sky sometimes clearly visible and at others indistinguishable The physicality of the book in its long slow paced format and its tactile surface qualities engage the reader in a reflective and sensual reading of the beauty of this landscape

TERRAINS VAGUESOn the margins of a town you find lsquoTerrains Vaguesrsquo a sort of no-mans land without any rules or structureThe Danish composer Per Noslashrgaringrd has written a piece of music called Terrains Vagues which is the inspiration for my book I hear the music as the place where all forces of mankind are expressed in true extremes I hear a tremendous horror but also an inherent poetic powerMankind represents devastation disasters and dissonance but hardworking inventiveness and enterprise tooI hear setback step backwards and forwards I also hear beauty and hope rising to the sky

UtkantslivUtkantsliv (Swedish for life on the outskirts or life on the margins) is an exploration of an unknown entity for me in my home town of Stockholm ndash a place now strangely unfamiliar to me after years abroadI started discovering these anonymous areas on the outskirts of the city mainly just houseshousing blocks sprung up in close proximity to public transport I got very interested in these lsquohinterlandsrsquo their strange careless mix of nature and industrial elementsThis book is the result of walks through one of these areas The photographs are purposefully anonymous and up-close void of people and wider context a highly personal view and examination of somewhere strangely impersonal and interchangeable

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

On the Margins ndash Waiting to be asked to danceCulturally in England at parties or weddings women begin the dancing whilst men watch drink and join in later Over the years I have attended many different types of dance classes In the confines of a dance or lsquofreestylersquo event the social rules change Women wait on the margins of the dancefloor to be asked to dance We demonstrate our willingness to dance by dancing on the spot The book shows the waiting feet shuffling tapping and enjoying the music eventually make a reverse turn into the path of a partner The book opens up into a dance that can also be seen as a man bowingThe beak book is housed in a dance cardAlso exhibiting the Pop-Up book Over On and Under

Single Ward FeaturesFloating like lonely Islands the separated wards of the town where I was born are the content of the first chapter of this book
Using poetic language found in the appropriated text of an official government document I have loosely bound together a fractured representation of this single place
Exploring the beauty of cartography and language and the crossover between authenticity and ambiguity
In fragmenting these factual details I hope to create a canvas for the imagination

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

FRIEND a fantastic and grim storyHere are grim tales from the margins of life and the outskirts of existence Wild and intense yet also heartfelt calm and gentle
After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

As before we are very grateful to all of the artists who have given their time and skills to participate in our events Because of them we now have an international Book Arts Festival which seems to grow each year
Special thanks to Norwegian Tommelise Haldrup Pettersen 2011 First Prize winner of the Doverodde Book Arts Center of Denmark Award for suggesting our 2012 theme UdkantSarah Bodman from The University of West England provided the translation On the margins Thanks to her for all her support
And while the Limfjordscentret may be situated on the margins of Denmark we have still gathered artists from around the world to participate in our latest new Festival venture the Artistsrsquo Books Anonymous On the margins SymposiumProminent artists have travelled to us from across the world to share their knowledge and art Thank you to our two Keynote speakers from Canada Maureen Piggins and Ewa Monika Zebrowski We are also glad to welcome American artists Doug Beube and Tatiana Ginsberg and Jesvin Yeo from Singapore Finally travelling from the UK are Sylvia Waltering and Lucy May SchofieldSuch an international list can only enlighten us to the global diversity and expertise in the field of book arts Additional thanks for helping select our Symposium candidates to the British panel Sarah Bodman Angie Butler Andrew Eason Linda Newington Mike Nicholson and Tom Sowden
Our other new experiment is the Writer-in-Residency project for which we were lucky to secure British poet and printmaker Nancy Campbell She has brought new life to Doverodde

ShorelineMy books are sensual Their subject matter is primarily focussed on the conceptualisation of the garden and the landscape Nature is so evocative of the human condition The book in its materiality and physical properties are integral to its reading providing the reader with an intimate and sensory experience with nature which engages them in reflecting on the natural worldA book which reflects on the shoreline where the land meets the sea and the sky sometimes clearly visible and at others indistinguishable The physicality of the book in its long slow paced format and its tactile surface qualities engage the reader in a reflective and sensual reading of the beauty of this landscape

TERRAINS VAGUESOn the margins of a town you find lsquoTerrains Vaguesrsquo a sort of no-mans land without any rules or structureThe Danish composer Per Noslashrgaringrd has written a piece of music called Terrains Vagues which is the inspiration for my book I hear the music as the place where all forces of mankind are expressed in true extremes I hear a tremendous horror but also an inherent poetic powerMankind represents devastation disasters and dissonance but hardworking inventiveness and enterprise tooI hear setback step backwards and forwards I also hear beauty and hope rising to the sky

UtkantslivUtkantsliv (Swedish for life on the outskirts or life on the margins) is an exploration of an unknown entity for me in my home town of Stockholm ndash a place now strangely unfamiliar to me after years abroadI started discovering these anonymous areas on the outskirts of the city mainly just houseshousing blocks sprung up in close proximity to public transport I got very interested in these lsquohinterlandsrsquo their strange careless mix of nature and industrial elementsThis book is the result of walks through one of these areas The photographs are purposefully anonymous and up-close void of people and wider context a highly personal view and examination of somewhere strangely impersonal and interchangeable

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

FRIEND a fantastic and grim storyHere are grim tales from the margins of life and the outskirts of existence Wild and intense yet also heartfelt calm and gentle
After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I leave a wide margin on my lifeWhat I do how I live how I think what I look like how I live with my loved ones the house I live in all that is on the margins ndash of a society whose centre is obsessed with only income and more power and more status more and more and more Yet this life on the edge is not a dull dingy life but one with a lot of laughter children friends ndash a fun-loving life What things tell of such a life My book is lyrical documentary told with collected ephemera drawings and texts

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

As before we are very grateful to all of the artists who have given their time and skills to participate in our events Because of them we now have an international Book Arts Festival which seems to grow each year
Special thanks to Norwegian Tommelise Haldrup Pettersen 2011 First Prize winner of the Doverodde Book Arts Center of Denmark Award for suggesting our 2012 theme UdkantSarah Bodman from The University of West England provided the translation On the margins Thanks to her for all her support
And while the Limfjordscentret may be situated on the margins of Denmark we have still gathered artists from around the world to participate in our latest new Festival venture the Artistsrsquo Books Anonymous On the margins SymposiumProminent artists have travelled to us from across the world to share their knowledge and art Thank you to our two Keynote speakers from Canada Maureen Piggins and Ewa Monika Zebrowski We are also glad to welcome American artists Doug Beube and Tatiana Ginsberg and Jesvin Yeo from Singapore Finally travelling from the UK are Sylvia Waltering and Lucy May SchofieldSuch an international list can only enlighten us to the global diversity and expertise in the field of book arts Additional thanks for helping select our Symposium candidates to the British panel Sarah Bodman Angie Butler Andrew Eason Linda Newington Mike Nicholson and Tom Sowden
Our other new experiment is the Writer-in-Residency project for which we were lucky to secure British poet and printmaker Nancy Campbell She has brought new life to Doverodde
After a successful first year the Doverodde Book Arts Center of Denmark Award will again be given to what we feel are distinctive book arts pieces and we acknowledge the insight of the jury Nina Hobolth (art historian researcher and former museums director) Hanne Matthiesen (artist) and Nancy Campbell (writer and printmaker)
All the people helping lsquobehind the scenesrsquo are also generous in so many ways giving their time advice assistance materials or financial help As this is all voluntary we would like to give special thanks to
Frivillige - volunteers from Doverodde and local areaSommerhusejerne i Doverodde - the holiday cottage owners of DoveroddeThe musicians ndash in particular cellist and composer Regine Brunke ndash for organising the musicLena Hansen ndash for yet again making a magical Book Cafeacute
A final important thank you to our sponsors for financial support The Danish Arts Council within the area of Visual Arts and LAG (The Danish AgriFish Agency under the Rural Development Programme)

TERRAINS VAGUESOn the margins of a town you find lsquoTerrains Vaguesrsquo a sort of no-mans land without any rules or structureThe Danish composer Per Noslashrgaringrd has written a piece of music called Terrains Vagues which is the inspiration for my book I hear the music as the place where all forces of mankind are expressed in true extremes I hear a tremendous horror but also an inherent poetic powerMankind represents devastation disasters and dissonance but hardworking inventiveness and enterprise tooI hear setback step backwards and forwards I also hear beauty and hope rising to the sky

UtkantslivUtkantsliv (Swedish for life on the outskirts or life on the margins) is an exploration of an unknown entity for me in my home town of Stockholm ndash a place now strangely unfamiliar to me after years abroadI started discovering these anonymous areas on the outskirts of the city mainly just houseshousing blocks sprung up in close proximity to public transport I got very interested in these lsquohinterlandsrsquo their strange careless mix of nature and industrial elementsThis book is the result of walks through one of these areas The photographs are purposefully anonymous and up-close void of people and wider context a highly personal view and examination of somewhere strangely impersonal and interchangeable

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

On the marginWhere decay initiates new growth ndash Where change shows more reluctantly ndash Where fruit grows for everyone ndash Where invisible eyes follow you ndash Where something new keeps appearing ndash Where thoughts hover in the air ndash Where no flags mark property ndash Where the eye cannot be detained ndash Where striving is searching ndash Where straight lines have no place ndash Where paths get lost ndash Where the clouds drift lower ndash Where birds form spirals in the air ndash
Where you feel at homebecause here you can lose yourselfbecause here you can find yourself

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

In de marge on the marginLines and patterns have fascinated me for a long time I started manipulating calligraphic pens and all sorts of writing materials forming traces and structures with little details that carry the vulnerability of the moment This work-flow became my language the language in which I could express myselfIn this work I filled the margins and left out the centre the readable words The sometimes-fragile images and lines show what it can mean to live on the margin of Life

Along the greenwayWalking around my neighbourhood I enjoy looking out for lost and discarded ephemera I find most pieces up against the edges of the urban streets and particularly along my local greenway a neglected freight rail and canal corridor Here feral wildlife make home and travel through without being disturbed or noticed by the suburban life of a big city Along this fringe are also human stragglers whose presence I am compelled to record in the intimacy of an artistrsquos book

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

UtkantslivUtkantsliv (Swedish for life on the outskirts or life on the margins) is an exploration of an unknown entity for me in my home town of Stockholm ndash a place now strangely unfamiliar to me after years abroadI started discovering these anonymous areas on the outskirts of the city mainly just houseshousing blocks sprung up in close proximity to public transport I got very interested in these lsquohinterlandsrsquo their strange careless mix of nature and industrial elementsThis book is the result of walks through one of these areas The photographs are purposefully anonymous and up-close void of people and wider context a highly personal view and examination of somewhere strangely impersonal and interchangeable

inside MARGINLook at a map of mainland Denmark and more specifically look at the coastal margins of that land What if this indented coast was in some way unfolded straightened out to form a single directional lineThe resulting image would turn the margin into a central spine around which both land and sea are anchored

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

On the Margins ndash Waiting to be asked to danceCulturally in England at parties or weddings women begin the dancing whilst men watch drink and join in later Over the years I have attended many different types of dance classes In the confines of a dance or lsquofreestylersquo event the social rules change Women wait on the margins of the dancefloor to be asked to dance We demonstrate our willingness to dance by dancing on the spot The book shows the waiting feet shuffling tapping and enjoying the music eventually make a reverse turn into the path of a partner The book opens up into a dance that can also be seen as a man bowingThe beak book is housed in a dance cardAlso exhibiting the Pop-Up book Over On and Under

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

In de marge on the marginLines and patterns have fascinated me for a long time I started manipulating calligraphic pens and all sorts of writing materials forming traces and structures with little details that carry the vulnerability of the moment This work-flow became my language the language in which I could express myselfIn this work I filled the margins and left out the centre the readable words The sometimes-fragile images and lines show what it can mean to live on the margin of Life

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Michael The CartographerlsquoThis remarkable artist I call Michael the Cartographer He lives alone and after he has spent a long time making such a map or perhaps several he destroys them I am sure I need not add that these are interior maps of the mind and not of any geographical placersquoThis extract is believed to have been written by Victor Musgrave Art Collector
This writing was obtained via The Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester UK along with two reproduced maps drawn by the mysterious lsquoMichael The Cartographerrsquo This is the only information the gallery have about the artist My book piece tells the story of Michael illustrating his beautiful maps through my own hand illuminating his enigmatic life

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

On the Margins ndash Waiting to be asked to danceCulturally in England at parties or weddings women begin the dancing whilst men watch drink and join in later Over the years I have attended many different types of dance classes In the confines of a dance or lsquofreestylersquo event the social rules change Women wait on the margins of the dancefloor to be asked to dance We demonstrate our willingness to dance by dancing on the spot The book shows the waiting feet shuffling tapping and enjoying the music eventually make a reverse turn into the path of a partner The book opens up into a dance that can also be seen as a man bowingThe beak book is housed in a dance cardAlso exhibiting the Pop-Up book Over On and Under

Using poetic language found in the appropriated text of an official government document I have loosely bound together a fractured representation of this single place

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Along the greenwayWalking around my neighbourhood I enjoy looking out for lost and discarded ephemera I find most pieces up against the edges of the urban streets and particularly along my local greenway a neglected freight rail and canal corridor Here feral wildlife make home and travel through without being disturbed or noticed by the suburban life of a big city Along this fringe are also human stragglers whose presence I am compelled to record in the intimacy of an artistrsquos book

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

UtkantslivUtkantsliv (Swedish for life on the outskirts or life on the margins) is an exploration of an unknown entity for me in my home town of Stockholm ndash a place now strangely unfamiliar to me after years abroadI started discovering these anonymous areas on the outskirts of the city mainly just houseshousing blocks sprung up in close proximity to public transport I got very interested in these lsquohinterlandsrsquo their strange careless mix of nature and industrial elementsThis book is the result of walks through one of these areas The photographs are purposefully anonymous and up-close void of people and wider context a highly personal view and examination of somewhere strangely impersonal and interchangeable

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

Leo GrindonI discovered the work of Leo Grindon a local botanist during study at The Manchester Herbarium A philanthropist Grindon worked tirelessly with lsquomarginalizedrsquo people in and around the North West of England to engage them with plants of all varieties His archives are now housed in the Herbarium although his handwritten word is still illegible My book is a small tribute to his pioneering work in adult education and for the inspiration he brought to local people in 1852

Single Ward FeaturesFloating like lonely Islands the separated wards of the town where I was born are the content of the first chapter of this book
Using poetic language found in the appropriated text of an official government document I have loosely bound together a fractured representation of this single place
Exploring the beauty of cartography and language and the crossover between authenticity and ambiguity
In fragmenting these factual details I hope to create a canvas for the imagination

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

FRIEND a fantastic and grim storyHere are grim tales from the margins of life and the outskirts of existence Wild and intense yet also heartfelt calm and gentle
After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

BindingI learned traditional bookbinding but soon became rather dissatisfied with it I moved on to artistic books which allow me to say and express things more personally seeking and creating unity between form and content
Mail ArtI started doing mail art more than sixteen years agoIt is a form of exchange of surprising and enriching meetings tooIt is also a way of putting across an opinion unasked

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

On the Margins ndash Waiting to be asked to danceCulturally in England at parties or weddings women begin the dancing whilst men watch drink and join in later Over the years I have attended many different types of dance classes In the confines of a dance or lsquofreestylersquo event the social rules change Women wait on the margins of the dancefloor to be asked to dance We demonstrate our willingness to dance by dancing on the spot The book shows the waiting feet shuffling tapping and enjoying the music eventually make a reverse turn into the path of a partner The book opens up into a dance that can also be seen as a man bowingThe beak book is housed in a dance cardAlso exhibiting the Pop-Up book Over On and Under

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

I leave a wide margin on my lifeWhat I do how I live how I think what I look like how I live with my loved ones the house I live in all that is on the margins ndash of a society whose centre is obsessed with only income and more power and more status more and more and more Yet this life on the edge is not a dull dingy life but one with a lot of laughter children friends ndash a fun-loving life What things tell of such a life My book is lyrical documentary told with collected ephemera drawings and texts

On the marginWhere decay initiates new growth ndash Where change shows more reluctantly ndash Where fruit grows for everyone ndash Where invisible eyes follow you ndash Where something new keeps appearing ndash Where thoughts hover in the air ndash Where no flags mark property ndash Where the eye cannot be detained ndash Where striving is searching ndash Where straight lines have no place ndash Where paths get lost ndash Where the clouds drift lower ndash Where birds form spirals in the air ndash
Where you feel at homebecause here you can lose yourselfbecause here you can find yourself

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

Geschlossene Gesellschaft Private partyEvery society is a mix-up of many different groups and individuals To develop and fulfil evolution it needs a range of differences we have to see that both nationally and globally
Exclusion of special individuals people groups ndash the refusing of human achievements will always lead to problems and war
Segregation takes place gradually and we all have to be alert to the first signs of marginalization

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

In de marge on the marginLines and patterns have fascinated me for a long time I started manipulating calligraphic pens and all sorts of writing materials forming traces and structures with little details that carry the vulnerability of the moment This work-flow became my language the language in which I could express myselfIn this work I filled the margins and left out the centre the readable words The sometimes-fragile images and lines show what it can mean to live on the margin of Life

Along the greenwayWalking around my neighbourhood I enjoy looking out for lost and discarded ephemera I find most pieces up against the edges of the urban streets and particularly along my local greenway a neglected freight rail and canal corridor Here feral wildlife make home and travel through without being disturbed or noticed by the suburban life of a big city Along this fringe are also human stragglers whose presence I am compelled to record in the intimacy of an artistrsquos book

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

On the Margins ndash Waiting to be asked to danceCulturally in England at parties or weddings women begin the dancing whilst men watch drink and join in later Over the years I have attended many different types of dance classes In the confines of a dance or lsquofreestylersquo event the social rules change Women wait on the margins of the dancefloor to be asked to dance We demonstrate our willingness to dance by dancing on the spot The book shows the waiting feet shuffling tapping and enjoying the music eventually make a reverse turn into the path of a partner The book opens up into a dance that can also be seen as a man bowingThe beak book is housed in a dance cardAlso exhibiting the Pop-Up book Over On and Under

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Along the greenwayWalking around my neighbourhood I enjoy looking out for lost and discarded ephemera I find most pieces up against the edges of the urban streets and particularly along my local greenway a neglected freight rail and canal corridor Here feral wildlife make home and travel through without being disturbed or noticed by the suburban life of a big city Along this fringe are also human stragglers whose presence I am compelled to record in the intimacy of an artistrsquos book

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

On the Margins ndash Waiting to be asked to danceCulturally in England at parties or weddings women begin the dancing whilst men watch drink and join in later Over the years I have attended many different types of dance classes In the confines of a dance or lsquofreestylersquo event the social rules change Women wait on the margins of the dancefloor to be asked to dance We demonstrate our willingness to dance by dancing on the spot The book shows the waiting feet shuffling tapping and enjoying the music eventually make a reverse turn into the path of a partner The book opens up into a dance that can also be seen as a man bowingThe beak book is housed in a dance cardAlso exhibiting the Pop-Up book Over On and Under

HiddenHidden is an artistsrsquo book created by Marianne Laimer in 2012 The book is designed as a game to entice the viewer to stop find and explore the hidden Hide and seek masks a deeper meaning where the game turns into something more serious Who exactly is hiding out in the margins of the fictional community room As in previous Laimer book works there are shadow-motifs and subtle references to other literatureThe material used is 160g Fabriano Tiziano paper flax for sewing and a minimal amount of glue has been used for mounting The motifs are cut by hand

Leo GrindonI discovered the work of Leo Grindon a local botanist during study at The Manchester Herbarium A philanthropist Grindon worked tirelessly with lsquomarginalizedrsquo people in and around the North West of England to engage them with plants of all varieties His archives are now housed in the Herbarium although his handwritten word is still illegible My book is a small tribute to his pioneering work in adult education and for the inspiration he brought to local people in 1852

Single Ward FeaturesFloating like lonely Islands the separated wards of the town where I was born are the content of the first chapter of this book
Using poetic language found in the appropriated text of an official government document I have loosely bound together a fractured representation of this single place
Exploring the beauty of cartography and language and the crossover between authenticity and ambiguity
In fragmenting these factual details I hope to create a canvas for the imagination

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

FRIEND a fantastic and grim storyHere are grim tales from the margins of life and the outskirts of existence Wild and intense yet also heartfelt calm and gentle
After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

Trained as an architect my arrival in The Netherlands saw a change of direction in my careerHaving learned the language I recalled my passion for paper and so began to learn about bookbinding discovering all sorts of ways of using paper My exploration continues even after twenty-five years
Rubber stampsI have been making rubber stamps for many years now They allow me to transmit impressions of travel and daily life immediatelyhellipI also engrave patterns used to decorate the paper I use in my book-binding and artistic books

BindingI learned traditional bookbinding but soon became rather dissatisfied with it I moved on to artistic books which allow me to say and express things more personally seeking and creating unity between form and content
Mail ArtI started doing mail art more than sixteen years agoIt is a form of exchange of surprising and enriching meetings tooIt is also a way of putting across an opinion unasked

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

On the Margins ndash Waiting to be asked to danceCulturally in England at parties or weddings women begin the dancing whilst men watch drink and join in later Over the years I have attended many different types of dance classes In the confines of a dance or lsquofreestylersquo event the social rules change Women wait on the margins of the dancefloor to be asked to dance We demonstrate our willingness to dance by dancing on the spot The book shows the waiting feet shuffling tapping and enjoying the music eventually make a reverse turn into the path of a partner The book opens up into a dance that can also be seen as a man bowingThe beak book is housed in a dance cardAlso exhibiting the Pop-Up book Over On and Under

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

On the marginWhere decay initiates new growth ndash Where change shows more reluctantly ndash Where fruit grows for everyone ndash Where invisible eyes follow you ndash Where something new keeps appearing ndash Where thoughts hover in the air ndash Where no flags mark property ndash Where the eye cannot be detained ndash Where striving is searching ndash Where straight lines have no place ndash Where paths get lost ndash Where the clouds drift lower ndash Where birds form spirals in the air ndash
Where you feel at homebecause here you can lose yourselfbecause here you can find yourself

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

In de marge on the marginLines and patterns have fascinated me for a long time I started manipulating calligraphic pens and all sorts of writing materials forming traces and structures with little details that carry the vulnerability of the moment This work-flow became my language the language in which I could express myselfIn this work I filled the margins and left out the centre the readable words The sometimes-fragile images and lines show what it can mean to live on the margin of Life

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Paris PerpendicularThe books published by David Juryrsquos Fox Ash Press has always celebrated the potential for complexity even disorder of normal everyday narratives whilst also providing strategies to make them decipherable Previous books have been typographically driven this book however co-created with French photographer Virginie Litzler is almost entirely image led But the same quest for a coherent story in doubtful circumstances remains Here the figures cling to edges and corners of ambiguous urban dwellings which have been turned into folds gutters and margins of the bookThe structure of the book is minimal precarious even suggesting it is the figures occupying the photographs who are holding it together

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

On the Margins ndash Waiting to be asked to danceCulturally in England at parties or weddings women begin the dancing whilst men watch drink and join in later Over the years I have attended many different types of dance classes In the confines of a dance or lsquofreestylersquo event the social rules change Women wait on the margins of the dancefloor to be asked to dance We demonstrate our willingness to dance by dancing on the spot The book shows the waiting feet shuffling tapping and enjoying the music eventually make a reverse turn into the path of a partner The book opens up into a dance that can also be seen as a man bowingThe beak book is housed in a dance cardAlso exhibiting the Pop-Up book Over On and Under

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Dark PeakDark Peak is a sketchbook of the scrub birch woodland and rough grassland found on the lower slopes of the wilder mist-shrouded northern part of the Peak District in England It is an area of largely uninhabited moorland plateaux with a stark brooding beauty and is described by Daniel Defoe as lsquoperhaps the most desolate wild and abandoned country in all Englandrsquo It is a place on the margins of habitation of cultivation and dominated by a cap of dark and sinister millstone grit The images are accompanied by lines taken from the poem Dark Peak by James Caruth

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

On the Margins ndash Waiting to be asked to danceCulturally in England at parties or weddings women begin the dancing whilst men watch drink and join in later Over the years I have attended many different types of dance classes In the confines of a dance or lsquofreestylersquo event the social rules change Women wait on the margins of the dancefloor to be asked to dance We demonstrate our willingness to dance by dancing on the spot The book shows the waiting feet shuffling tapping and enjoying the music eventually make a reverse turn into the path of a partner The book opens up into a dance that can also be seen as a man bowingThe beak book is housed in a dance cardAlso exhibiting the Pop-Up book Over On and Under

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

FRIEND a fantastic and grim storyHere are grim tales from the margins of life and the outskirts of existence Wild and intense yet also heartfelt calm and gentle
After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

As before we are very grateful to all of the artists who have given their time and skills to participate in our events Because of them we now have an international Book Arts Festival which seems to grow each year
Special thanks to Norwegian Tommelise Haldrup Pettersen 2011 First Prize winner of the Doverodde Book Arts Center of Denmark Award for suggesting our 2012 theme UdkantSarah Bodman from The University of West England provided the translation On the margins Thanks to her for all her support
And while the Limfjordscentret may be situated on the margins of Denmark we have still gathered artists from around the world to participate in our latest new Festival venture the Artistsrsquo Books Anonymous On the margins SymposiumProminent artists have travelled to us from across the world to share their knowledge and art Thank you to our two Keynote speakers from Canada Maureen Piggins and Ewa Monika Zebrowski We are also glad to welcome American artists Doug Beube and Tatiana Ginsberg and Jesvin Yeo from Singapore Finally travelling from the UK are Sylvia Waltering and Lucy May SchofieldSuch an international list can only enlighten us to the global diversity and expertise in the field of book arts Additional thanks for helping select our Symposium candidates to the British panel Sarah Bodman Angie Butler Andrew Eason Linda Newington Mike Nicholson and Tom Sowden
Our other new experiment is the Writer-in-Residency project for which we were lucky to secure British poet and printmaker Nancy Campbell She has brought new life to Doverodde

Existence DoubtfulNot long ago the margins of maps were dotted with islands we no longer find there today Some were misplaced others temporary volcanic cones and still more figments of delusion or deceit Expunged by hydrographers and cartographers sometimes first relocated or labeled lsquoEDrsquo (existence doubtful) whole archipelagos disappeared
This book pays homage to one such imaginary cluster the Anson Archipelago In its heyday it boasted at least 44 imaginary islands taking up a large swath of the Pacific Traces of it survived on maps into the twentieth century Here it is preserved it for the twenty-first as a twelve-foot (365cm) long marginal note

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

This writing was obtained via The Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester UK along with two reproduced maps drawn by the mysterious lsquoMichael The Cartographerrsquo This is the only information the gallery have about the artist My book piece tells the story of Michael illustrating his beautiful maps through my own hand illuminating his enigmatic life

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

On the Margins ndash Waiting to be asked to danceCulturally in England at parties or weddings women begin the dancing whilst men watch drink and join in later Over the years I have attended many different types of dance classes In the confines of a dance or lsquofreestylersquo event the social rules change Women wait on the margins of the dancefloor to be asked to dance We demonstrate our willingness to dance by dancing on the spot The book shows the waiting feet shuffling tapping and enjoying the music eventually make a reverse turn into the path of a partner The book opens up into a dance that can also be seen as a man bowingThe beak book is housed in a dance cardAlso exhibiting the Pop-Up book Over On and Under

Using poetic language found in the appropriated text of an official government document I have loosely bound together a fractured representation of this single place

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

Geschlossene Gesellschaft Private partyEvery society is a mix-up of many different groups and individuals To develop and fulfil evolution it needs a range of differences we have to see that both nationally and globally
Exclusion of special individuals people groups ndash the refusing of human achievements will always lead to problems and war
Segregation takes place gradually and we all have to be alert to the first signs of marginalization

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

In de marge on the marginLines and patterns have fascinated me for a long time I started manipulating calligraphic pens and all sorts of writing materials forming traces and structures with little details that carry the vulnerability of the moment This work-flow became my language the language in which I could express myselfIn this work I filled the margins and left out the centre the readable words The sometimes-fragile images and lines show what it can mean to live on the margin of Life

Along the greenwayWalking around my neighbourhood I enjoy looking out for lost and discarded ephemera I find most pieces up against the edges of the urban streets and particularly along my local greenway a neglected freight rail and canal corridor Here feral wildlife make home and travel through without being disturbed or noticed by the suburban life of a big city Along this fringe are also human stragglers whose presence I am compelled to record in the intimacy of an artistrsquos book

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

HiddenHidden is an artistsrsquo book created by Marianne Laimer in 2012 The book is designed as a game to entice the viewer to stop find and explore the hidden Hide and seek masks a deeper meaning where the game turns into something more serious Who exactly is hiding out in the margins of the fictional community room As in previous Laimer book works there are shadow-motifs and subtle references to other literatureThe material used is 160g Fabriano Tiziano paper flax for sewing and a minimal amount of glue has been used for mounting The motifs are cut by hand

Leo GrindonI discovered the work of Leo Grindon a local botanist during study at The Manchester Herbarium A philanthropist Grindon worked tirelessly with lsquomarginalizedrsquo people in and around the North West of England to engage them with plants of all varieties His archives are now housed in the Herbarium although his handwritten word is still illegible My book is a small tribute to his pioneering work in adult education and for the inspiration he brought to local people in 1852

Single Ward FeaturesFloating like lonely Islands the separated wards of the town where I was born are the content of the first chapter of this book
Using poetic language found in the appropriated text of an official government document I have loosely bound together a fractured representation of this single place
Exploring the beauty of cartography and language and the crossover between authenticity and ambiguity
In fragmenting these factual details I hope to create a canvas for the imagination

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

FRIEND a fantastic and grim storyHere are grim tales from the margins of life and the outskirts of existence Wild and intense yet also heartfelt calm and gentle
After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

On the marginWhere decay initiates new growth ndash Where change shows more reluctantly ndash Where fruit grows for everyone ndash Where invisible eyes follow you ndash Where something new keeps appearing ndash Where thoughts hover in the air ndash Where no flags mark property ndash Where the eye cannot be detained ndash Where striving is searching ndash Where straight lines have no place ndash Where paths get lost ndash Where the clouds drift lower ndash Where birds form spirals in the air ndash
Where you feel at homebecause here you can lose yourselfbecause here you can find yourself

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

Exclusion of special individuals people groups ndash the refusing of human achievements will always lead to problems and war

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

As before we are very grateful to all of the artists who have given their time and skills to participate in our events Because of them we now have an international Book Arts Festival which seems to grow each year

Tycorsquos UniverseThe theme Udkant On the margins suggests the idea that scientists like artists are often outside the mainstream of society My book is a tribute to the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and his groundbreaking planetary observations I used his drawings to create borders (margins) of geometric patterns found both in science and abstract art The repetition of the circles reinforces the idea of planets The use of silver comes from Tycho Brahersquos interest in alchemy and from his artificial nose My book includes elements of assemblage based on artists such as Max Ernst and Joseph Cornell

This writing was obtained via The Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester UK along with two reproduced maps drawn by the mysterious lsquoMichael The Cartographerrsquo This is the only information the gallery have about the artist My book piece tells the story of Michael illustrating his beautiful maps through my own hand illuminating his enigmatic life

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

On the Margins ndash Waiting to be asked to danceCulturally in England at parties or weddings women begin the dancing whilst men watch drink and join in later Over the years I have attended many different types of dance classes In the confines of a dance or lsquofreestylersquo event the social rules change Women wait on the margins of the dancefloor to be asked to dance We demonstrate our willingness to dance by dancing on the spot The book shows the waiting feet shuffling tapping and enjoying the music eventually make a reverse turn into the path of a partner The book opens up into a dance that can also be seen as a man bowingThe beak book is housed in a dance cardAlso exhibiting the Pop-Up book Over On and Under

HiddenHidden is an artistsrsquo book created by Marianne Laimer in 2012 The book is designed as a game to entice the viewer to stop find and explore the hidden Hide and seek masks a deeper meaning where the game turns into something more serious Who exactly is hiding out in the margins of the fictional community room As in previous Laimer book works there are shadow-motifs and subtle references to other literatureThe material used is 160g Fabriano Tiziano paper flax for sewing and a minimal amount of glue has been used for mounting The motifs are cut by hand

Leo GrindonI discovered the work of Leo Grindon a local botanist during study at The Manchester Herbarium A philanthropist Grindon worked tirelessly with lsquomarginalizedrsquo people in and around the North West of England to engage them with plants of all varieties His archives are now housed in the Herbarium although his handwritten word is still illegible My book is a small tribute to his pioneering work in adult education and for the inspiration he brought to local people in 1852

Using poetic language found in the appropriated text of an official government document I have loosely bound together a fractured representation of this single place
Exploring the beauty of cartography and language and the crossover between authenticity and ambiguity
In fragmenting these factual details I hope to create a canvas for the imagination

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

Geschlossene Gesellschaft Private partyEvery society is a mix-up of many different groups and individuals To develop and fulfil evolution it needs a range of differences we have to see that both nationally and globally
Exclusion of special individuals people groups ndash the refusing of human achievements will always lead to problems and war
Segregation takes place gradually and we all have to be alert to the first signs of marginalization

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

In de marge on the marginLines and patterns have fascinated me for a long time I started manipulating calligraphic pens and all sorts of writing materials forming traces and structures with little details that carry the vulnerability of the moment This work-flow became my language the language in which I could express myselfIn this work I filled the margins and left out the centre the readable words The sometimes-fragile images and lines show what it can mean to live on the margin of Life

Along the greenwayWalking around my neighbourhood I enjoy looking out for lost and discarded ephemera I find most pieces up against the edges of the urban streets and particularly along my local greenway a neglected freight rail and canal corridor Here feral wildlife make home and travel through without being disturbed or noticed by the suburban life of a big city Along this fringe are also human stragglers whose presence I am compelled to record in the intimacy of an artistrsquos book

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

FRIEND a fantastic and grim storyHere are grim tales from the margins of life and the outskirts of existence Wild and intense yet also heartfelt calm and gentle
After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

As before we are very grateful to all of the artists who have given their time and skills to participate in our events Because of them we now have an international Book Arts Festival which seems to grow each year
Special thanks to Norwegian Tommelise Haldrup Pettersen 2011 First Prize winner of the Doverodde Book Arts Center of Denmark Award for suggesting our 2012 theme UdkantSarah Bodman from The University of West England provided the translation On the margins Thanks to her for all her support
And while the Limfjordscentret may be situated on the margins of Denmark we have still gathered artists from around the world to participate in our latest new Festival venture the Artistsrsquo Books Anonymous On the margins SymposiumProminent artists have travelled to us from across the world to share their knowledge and art Thank you to our two Keynote speakers from Canada Maureen Piggins and Ewa Monika Zebrowski We are also glad to welcome American artists Doug Beube and Tatiana Ginsberg and Jesvin Yeo from Singapore Finally travelling from the UK are Sylvia Waltering and Lucy May SchofieldSuch an international list can only enlighten us to the global diversity and expertise in the field of book arts Additional thanks for helping select our Symposium candidates to the British panel Sarah Bodman Angie Butler Andrew Eason Linda Newington Mike Nicholson and Tom Sowden

Michael The CartographerlsquoThis remarkable artist I call Michael the Cartographer He lives alone and after he has spent a long time making such a map or perhaps several he destroys them I am sure I need not add that these are interior maps of the mind and not of any geographical placersquoThis extract is believed to have been written by Victor Musgrave Art Collector
This writing was obtained via The Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester UK along with two reproduced maps drawn by the mysterious lsquoMichael The Cartographerrsquo This is the only information the gallery have about the artist My book piece tells the story of Michael illustrating his beautiful maps through my own hand illuminating his enigmatic life

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

On the Margins ndash Waiting to be asked to danceCulturally in England at parties or weddings women begin the dancing whilst men watch drink and join in later Over the years I have attended many different types of dance classes In the confines of a dance or lsquofreestylersquo event the social rules change Women wait on the margins of the dancefloor to be asked to dance We demonstrate our willingness to dance by dancing on the spot The book shows the waiting feet shuffling tapping and enjoying the music eventually make a reverse turn into the path of a partner The book opens up into a dance that can also be seen as a man bowingThe beak book is housed in a dance cardAlso exhibiting the Pop-Up book Over On and Under

Leo GrindonI discovered the work of Leo Grindon a local botanist during study at The Manchester Herbarium A philanthropist Grindon worked tirelessly with lsquomarginalizedrsquo people in and around the North West of England to engage them with plants of all varieties His archives are now housed in the Herbarium although his handwritten word is still illegible My book is a small tribute to his pioneering work in adult education and for the inspiration he brought to local people in 1852

Using poetic language found in the appropriated text of an official government document I have loosely bound together a fractured representation of this single place
Exploring the beauty of cartography and language and the crossover between authenticity and ambiguity
In fragmenting these factual details I hope to create a canvas for the imagination

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

Exclusion of special individuals people groups ndash the refusing of human achievements will always lead to problems and war

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

Along the greenwayWalking around my neighbourhood I enjoy looking out for lost and discarded ephemera I find most pieces up against the edges of the urban streets and particularly along my local greenway a neglected freight rail and canal corridor Here feral wildlife make home and travel through without being disturbed or noticed by the suburban life of a big city Along this fringe are also human stragglers whose presence I am compelled to record in the intimacy of an artistrsquos book

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

On the marginWhere decay initiates new growth ndash Where change shows more reluctantly ndash Where fruit grows for everyone ndash Where invisible eyes follow you ndash Where something new keeps appearing ndash Where thoughts hover in the air ndash Where no flags mark property ndash Where the eye cannot be detained ndash Where striving is searching ndash Where straight lines have no place ndash Where paths get lost ndash Where the clouds drift lower ndash Where birds form spirals in the air ndash
Where you feel at homebecause here you can lose yourselfbecause here you can find yourself

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

Geschlossene Gesellschaft Private partyEvery society is a mix-up of many different groups and individuals To develop and fulfil evolution it needs a range of differences we have to see that both nationally and globally
Exclusion of special individuals people groups ndash the refusing of human achievements will always lead to problems and war
Segregation takes place gradually and we all have to be alert to the first signs of marginalization

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

In de marge on the marginLines and patterns have fascinated me for a long time I started manipulating calligraphic pens and all sorts of writing materials forming traces and structures with little details that carry the vulnerability of the moment This work-flow became my language the language in which I could express myselfIn this work I filled the margins and left out the centre the readable words The sometimes-fragile images and lines show what it can mean to live on the margin of Life

Along the greenwayWalking around my neighbourhood I enjoy looking out for lost and discarded ephemera I find most pieces up against the edges of the urban streets and particularly along my local greenway a neglected freight rail and canal corridor Here feral wildlife make home and travel through without being disturbed or noticed by the suburban life of a big city Along this fringe are also human stragglers whose presence I am compelled to record in the intimacy of an artistrsquos book

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Margins IIIThis collection of pencil pen and gouache drawings is part of a series that was initially inspired by a catalogue of silverware The ornate decoration on the silverware is confined to the edges of the pieces or around panels and shapes within the objects Predominately plants are depicted in a highly organized and contrived manner I have chosen to explore the embellishment of geometric forms with drawings of lichens which themselves occupy the margins of where we live The paper folios into which the drawings are placed have different margins to subtly draw attention to the edges

On the Margins ndash Waiting to be asked to danceCulturally in England at parties or weddings women begin the dancing whilst men watch drink and join in later Over the years I have attended many different types of dance classes In the confines of a dance or lsquofreestylersquo event the social rules change Women wait on the margins of the dancefloor to be asked to dance We demonstrate our willingness to dance by dancing on the spot The book shows the waiting feet shuffling tapping and enjoying the music eventually make a reverse turn into the path of a partner The book opens up into a dance that can also be seen as a man bowingThe beak book is housed in a dance cardAlso exhibiting the Pop-Up book Over On and Under

HiddenHidden is an artistsrsquo book created by Marianne Laimer in 2012 The book is designed as a game to entice the viewer to stop find and explore the hidden Hide and seek masks a deeper meaning where the game turns into something more serious Who exactly is hiding out in the margins of the fictional community room As in previous Laimer book works there are shadow-motifs and subtle references to other literatureThe material used is 160g Fabriano Tiziano paper flax for sewing and a minimal amount of glue has been used for mounting The motifs are cut by hand

Leo GrindonI discovered the work of Leo Grindon a local botanist during study at The Manchester Herbarium A philanthropist Grindon worked tirelessly with lsquomarginalizedrsquo people in and around the North West of England to engage them with plants of all varieties His archives are now housed in the Herbarium although his handwritten word is still illegible My book is a small tribute to his pioneering work in adult education and for the inspiration he brought to local people in 1852

Single Ward FeaturesFloating like lonely Islands the separated wards of the town where I was born are the content of the first chapter of this book
Using poetic language found in the appropriated text of an official government document I have loosely bound together a fractured representation of this single place
Exploring the beauty of cartography and language and the crossover between authenticity and ambiguity
In fragmenting these factual details I hope to create a canvas for the imagination

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

FRIEND a fantastic and grim storyHere are grim tales from the margins of life and the outskirts of existence Wild and intense yet also heartfelt calm and gentle
After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

BindingI learned traditional bookbinding but soon became rather dissatisfied with it I moved on to artistic books which allow me to say and express things more personally seeking and creating unity between form and content
Mail ArtI started doing mail art more than sixteen years agoIt is a form of exchange of surprising and enriching meetings tooIt is also a way of putting across an opinion unasked

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

On the Margins ndash Waiting to be asked to danceCulturally in England at parties or weddings women begin the dancing whilst men watch drink and join in later Over the years I have attended many different types of dance classes In the confines of a dance or lsquofreestylersquo event the social rules change Women wait on the margins of the dancefloor to be asked to dance We demonstrate our willingness to dance by dancing on the spot The book shows the waiting feet shuffling tapping and enjoying the music eventually make a reverse turn into the path of a partner The book opens up into a dance that can also be seen as a man bowingThe beak book is housed in a dance cardAlso exhibiting the Pop-Up book Over On and Under

HiddenHidden is an artistsrsquo book created by Marianne Laimer in 2012 The book is designed as a game to entice the viewer to stop find and explore the hidden Hide and seek masks a deeper meaning where the game turns into something more serious Who exactly is hiding out in the margins of the fictional community room As in previous Laimer book works there are shadow-motifs and subtle references to other literatureThe material used is 160g Fabriano Tiziano paper flax for sewing and a minimal amount of glue has been used for mounting The motifs are cut by hand

Leo GrindonI discovered the work of Leo Grindon a local botanist during study at The Manchester Herbarium A philanthropist Grindon worked tirelessly with lsquomarginalizedrsquo people in and around the North West of England to engage them with plants of all varieties His archives are now housed in the Herbarium although his handwritten word is still illegible My book is a small tribute to his pioneering work in adult education and for the inspiration he brought to local people in 1852

Single Ward FeaturesFloating like lonely Islands the separated wards of the town where I was born are the content of the first chapter of this book
Using poetic language found in the appropriated text of an official government document I have loosely bound together a fractured representation of this single place
Exploring the beauty of cartography and language and the crossover between authenticity and ambiguity
In fragmenting these factual details I hope to create a canvas for the imagination

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

FRIEND a fantastic and grim storyHere are grim tales from the margins of life and the outskirts of existence Wild and intense yet also heartfelt calm and gentle
After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

Exclusion of special individuals people groups ndash the refusing of human achievements will always lead to problems and war

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

Along the greenwayWalking around my neighbourhood I enjoy looking out for lost and discarded ephemera I find most pieces up against the edges of the urban streets and particularly along my local greenway a neglected freight rail and canal corridor Here feral wildlife make home and travel through without being disturbed or noticed by the suburban life of a big city Along this fringe are also human stragglers whose presence I am compelled to record in the intimacy of an artistrsquos book

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

Geschlossene Gesellschaft Private partyEvery society is a mix-up of many different groups and individuals To develop and fulfil evolution it needs a range of differences we have to see that both nationally and globally
Exclusion of special individuals people groups ndash the refusing of human achievements will always lead to problems and war
Segregation takes place gradually and we all have to be alert to the first signs of marginalization

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

In de marge on the marginLines and patterns have fascinated me for a long time I started manipulating calligraphic pens and all sorts of writing materials forming traces and structures with little details that carry the vulnerability of the moment This work-flow became my language the language in which I could express myselfIn this work I filled the margins and left out the centre the readable words The sometimes-fragile images and lines show what it can mean to live on the margin of Life

Along the greenwayWalking around my neighbourhood I enjoy looking out for lost and discarded ephemera I find most pieces up against the edges of the urban streets and particularly along my local greenway a neglected freight rail and canal corridor Here feral wildlife make home and travel through without being disturbed or noticed by the suburban life of a big city Along this fringe are also human stragglers whose presence I am compelled to record in the intimacy of an artistrsquos book

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Single Ward FeaturesFloating like lonely Islands the separated wards of the town where I was born are the content of the first chapter of this book
Using poetic language found in the appropriated text of an official government document I have loosely bound together a fractured representation of this single place
Exploring the beauty of cartography and language and the crossover between authenticity and ambiguity
In fragmenting these factual details I hope to create a canvas for the imagination

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

FRIEND a fantastic and grim storyHere are grim tales from the margins of life and the outskirts of existence Wild and intense yet also heartfelt calm and gentle
After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

As before we are very grateful to all of the artists who have given their time and skills to participate in our events Because of them we now have an international Book Arts Festival which seems to grow each year

HiddenHidden is an artistsrsquo book created by Marianne Laimer in 2012 The book is designed as a game to entice the viewer to stop find and explore the hidden Hide and seek masks a deeper meaning where the game turns into something more serious Who exactly is hiding out in the margins of the fictional community room As in previous Laimer book works there are shadow-motifs and subtle references to other literatureThe material used is 160g Fabriano Tiziano paper flax for sewing and a minimal amount of glue has been used for mounting The motifs are cut by hand

Leo GrindonI discovered the work of Leo Grindon a local botanist during study at The Manchester Herbarium A philanthropist Grindon worked tirelessly with lsquomarginalizedrsquo people in and around the North West of England to engage them with plants of all varieties His archives are now housed in the Herbarium although his handwritten word is still illegible My book is a small tribute to his pioneering work in adult education and for the inspiration he brought to local people in 1852

Single Ward FeaturesFloating like lonely Islands the separated wards of the town where I was born are the content of the first chapter of this book
Using poetic language found in the appropriated text of an official government document I have loosely bound together a fractured representation of this single place
Exploring the beauty of cartography and language and the crossover between authenticity and ambiguity
In fragmenting these factual details I hope to create a canvas for the imagination

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

FRIEND a fantastic and grim storyHere are grim tales from the margins of life and the outskirts of existence Wild and intense yet also heartfelt calm and gentle
After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

Exclusion of special individuals people groups ndash the refusing of human achievements will always lead to problems and war
Segregation takes place gradually and we all have to be alert to the first signs of marginalization

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

Along the greenwayWalking around my neighbourhood I enjoy looking out for lost and discarded ephemera I find most pieces up against the edges of the urban streets and particularly along my local greenway a neglected freight rail and canal corridor Here feral wildlife make home and travel through without being disturbed or noticed by the suburban life of a big city Along this fringe are also human stragglers whose presence I am compelled to record in the intimacy of an artistrsquos book

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

HiddenHidden is an artistsrsquo book created by Marianne Laimer in 2012 The book is designed as a game to entice the viewer to stop find and explore the hidden Hide and seek masks a deeper meaning where the game turns into something more serious Who exactly is hiding out in the margins of the fictional community room As in previous Laimer book works there are shadow-motifs and subtle references to other literatureThe material used is 160g Fabriano Tiziano paper flax for sewing and a minimal amount of glue has been used for mounting The motifs are cut by hand

Single Ward FeaturesFloating like lonely Islands the separated wards of the town where I was born are the content of the first chapter of this book
Using poetic language found in the appropriated text of an official government document I have loosely bound together a fractured representation of this single place
Exploring the beauty of cartography and language and the crossover between authenticity and ambiguity
In fragmenting these factual details I hope to create a canvas for the imagination

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

Exclusion of special individuals people groups ndash the refusing of human achievements will always lead to problems and war

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Along the greenwayWalking around my neighbourhood I enjoy looking out for lost and discarded ephemera I find most pieces up against the edges of the urban streets and particularly along my local greenway a neglected freight rail and canal corridor Here feral wildlife make home and travel through without being disturbed or noticed by the suburban life of a big city Along this fringe are also human stragglers whose presence I am compelled to record in the intimacy of an artistrsquos book

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Using poetic language found in the appropriated text of an official government document I have loosely bound together a fractured representation of this single place
Exploring the beauty of cartography and language and the crossover between authenticity and ambiguity
In fragmenting these factual details I hope to create a canvas for the imagination

Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

In de marge on the marginLines and patterns have fascinated me for a long time I started manipulating calligraphic pens and all sorts of writing materials forming traces and structures with little details that carry the vulnerability of the moment This work-flow became my language the language in which I could express myselfIn this work I filled the margins and left out the centre the readable words The sometimes-fragile images and lines show what it can mean to live on the margin of Life

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Using poetic language found in the appropriated text of an official government document I have loosely bound together a fractured representation of this single place
Exploring the beauty of cartography and language and the crossover between authenticity and ambiguity
In fragmenting these factual details I hope to create a canvas for the imagination

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

Geschlossene Gesellschaft Private partyEvery society is a mix-up of many different groups and individuals To develop and fulfil evolution it needs a range of differences we have to see that both nationally and globally
Exclusion of special individuals people groups ndash the refusing of human achievements will always lead to problems and war
Segregation takes place gradually and we all have to be alert to the first signs of marginalization

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

In de marge on the marginLines and patterns have fascinated me for a long time I started manipulating calligraphic pens and all sorts of writing materials forming traces and structures with little details that carry the vulnerability of the moment This work-flow became my language the language in which I could express myselfIn this work I filled the margins and left out the centre the readable words The sometimes-fragile images and lines show what it can mean to live on the margin of Life

Along the greenwayWalking around my neighbourhood I enjoy looking out for lost and discarded ephemera I find most pieces up against the edges of the urban streets and particularly along my local greenway a neglected freight rail and canal corridor Here feral wildlife make home and travel through without being disturbed or noticed by the suburban life of a big city Along this fringe are also human stragglers whose presence I am compelled to record in the intimacy of an artistrsquos book

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

FRIEND a fantastic and grim storyHere are grim tales from the margins of life and the outskirts of existence Wild and intense yet also heartfelt calm and gentle
After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I leave a wide margin on my lifeWhat I do how I live how I think what I look like how I live with my loved ones the house I live in all that is on the margins ndash of a society whose centre is obsessed with only income and more power and more status more and more and more Yet this life on the edge is not a dull dingy life but one with a lot of laughter children friends ndash a fun-loving life What things tell of such a life My book is lyrical documentary told with collected ephemera drawings and texts

On the marginWhere decay initiates new growth ndash Where change shows more reluctantly ndash Where fruit grows for everyone ndash Where invisible eyes follow you ndash Where something new keeps appearing ndash Where thoughts hover in the air ndash Where no flags mark property ndash Where the eye cannot be detained ndash Where striving is searching ndash Where straight lines have no place ndash Where paths get lost ndash Where the clouds drift lower ndash Where birds form spirals in the air ndash
Where you feel at homebecause here you can lose yourselfbecause here you can find yourself

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

Exclusion of special individuals people groups ndash the refusing of human achievements will always lead to problems and war
Segregation takes place gradually and we all have to be alert to the first signs of marginalization

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

In de marge on the marginLines and patterns have fascinated me for a long time I started manipulating calligraphic pens and all sorts of writing materials forming traces and structures with little details that carry the vulnerability of the moment This work-flow became my language the language in which I could express myselfIn this work I filled the margins and left out the centre the readable words The sometimes-fragile images and lines show what it can mean to live on the margin of Life

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

FRIEND a fantastic and grim storyHere are grim tales from the margins of life and the outskirts of existence Wild and intense yet also heartfelt calm and gentle
After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I leave a wide margin on my lifeWhat I do how I live how I think what I look like how I live with my loved ones the house I live in all that is on the margins ndash of a society whose centre is obsessed with only income and more power and more status more and more and more Yet this life on the edge is not a dull dingy life but one with a lot of laughter children friends ndash a fun-loving life What things tell of such a life My book is lyrical documentary told with collected ephemera drawings and texts

On the marginWhere decay initiates new growth ndash Where change shows more reluctantly ndash Where fruit grows for everyone ndash Where invisible eyes follow you ndash Where something new keeps appearing ndash Where thoughts hover in the air ndash Where no flags mark property ndash Where the eye cannot be detained ndash Where striving is searching ndash Where straight lines have no place ndash Where paths get lost ndash Where the clouds drift lower ndash Where birds form spirals in the air ndash
Where you feel at homebecause here you can lose yourselfbecause here you can find yourself

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

Exclusion of special individuals people groups ndash the refusing of human achievements will always lead to problems and war

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Udkant 1 amp 2Udkant 2 describes with images the margin of Aarhus which ordinarily isnrsquot perceived as being on the margins First a long stretch of the Danish coastline the edge of the country which defines the eastern margin of Aarhus Next images of the rundown inner city ndash the living spaces for the most vulnerable ndash where new and old meet Finally the transition between countryside and city defining the western marginMarginalised areas can be found anywhere there is a transition often giving opportunity for development if their potential is realized
Udkant 1 is a book that looks like a book but isnrsquot a book but contains a book that was once a book but no longer a useable book with content It raises the question where do we draw the margin

FRIEND a fantastic and grim storyHere are grim tales from the margins of life and the outskirts of existence Wild and intense yet also heartfelt calm and gentle
After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I leave a wide margin on my lifeWhat I do how I live how I think what I look like how I live with my loved ones the house I live in all that is on the margins ndash of a society whose centre is obsessed with only income and more power and more status more and more and more Yet this life on the edge is not a dull dingy life but one with a lot of laughter children friends ndash a fun-loving life What things tell of such a life My book is lyrical documentary told with collected ephemera drawings and texts

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

FRIEND a fantastic and grim storyHere are grim tales from the margins of life and the outskirts of existence Wild and intense yet also heartfelt calm and gentle
After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I leave a wide margin on my lifeWhat I do how I live how I think what I look like how I live with my loved ones the house I live in all that is on the margins ndash of a society whose centre is obsessed with only income and more power and more status more and more and more Yet this life on the edge is not a dull dingy life but one with a lot of laughter children friends ndash a fun-loving life What things tell of such a life My book is lyrical documentary told with collected ephemera drawings and texts

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

Exclusion of special individuals people groups ndash the refusing of human achievements will always lead to problems and war

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

In de marge on the marginLines and patterns have fascinated me for a long time I started manipulating calligraphic pens and all sorts of writing materials forming traces and structures with little details that carry the vulnerability of the moment This work-flow became my language the language in which I could express myselfIn this work I filled the margins and left out the centre the readable words The sometimes-fragile images and lines show what it can mean to live on the margin of Life

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

FRIEND a fantastic and grim storyHere are grim tales from the margins of life and the outskirts of existence Wild and intense yet also heartfelt calm and gentle
After years of focusing on textural and non-figurative expressions the urge to draw has returned and completely taken over The smallest excuse and it pours out of my drawing pen long-limbed royal sons and daughters mermaids with unruly hair brutal killers falling angels eight-legged horses women giving birth blood sweat and tears Really I have no idea where it is all coming from

I leave a wide margin on my lifeWhat I do how I live how I think what I look like how I live with my loved ones the house I live in all that is on the margins ndash of a society whose centre is obsessed with only income and more power and more status more and more and more Yet this life on the edge is not a dull dingy life but one with a lot of laughter children friends ndash a fun-loving life What things tell of such a life My book is lyrical documentary told with collected ephemera drawings and texts

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

Geschlossene Gesellschaft Private partyEvery society is a mix-up of many different groups and individuals To develop and fulfil evolution it needs a range of differences we have to see that both nationally and globally
Exclusion of special individuals people groups ndash the refusing of human achievements will always lead to problems and war
Segregation takes place gradually and we all have to be alert to the first signs of marginalization

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

In de marge on the marginLines and patterns have fascinated me for a long time I started manipulating calligraphic pens and all sorts of writing materials forming traces and structures with little details that carry the vulnerability of the moment This work-flow became my language the language in which I could express myselfIn this work I filled the margins and left out the centre the readable words The sometimes-fragile images and lines show what it can mean to live on the margin of Life

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

I leave a wide margin on my lifeWhat I do how I live how I think what I look like how I live with my loved ones the house I live in all that is on the margins ndash of a society whose centre is obsessed with only income and more power and more status more and more and more Yet this life on the edge is not a dull dingy life but one with a lot of laughter children friends ndash a fun-loving life What things tell of such a life My book is lyrical documentary told with collected ephemera drawings and texts

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

Exclusion of special individuals people groups ndash the refusing of human achievements will always lead to problems and war
Segregation takes place gradually and we all have to be alert to the first signs of marginalization

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

In de marge on the marginLines and patterns have fascinated me for a long time I started manipulating calligraphic pens and all sorts of writing materials forming traces and structures with little details that carry the vulnerability of the moment This work-flow became my language the language in which I could express myselfIn this work I filled the margins and left out the centre the readable words The sometimes-fragile images and lines show what it can mean to live on the margin of Life

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

I leave a wide margin on my lifeWhat I do how I live how I think what I look like how I live with my loved ones the house I live in all that is on the margins ndash of a society whose centre is obsessed with only income and more power and more status more and more and more Yet this life on the edge is not a dull dingy life but one with a lot of laughter children friends ndash a fun-loving life What things tell of such a life My book is lyrical documentary told with collected ephemera drawings and texts

On the marginWhere decay initiates new growth ndash Where change shows more reluctantly ndash Where fruit grows for everyone ndash Where invisible eyes follow you ndash Where something new keeps appearing ndash Where thoughts hover in the air ndash Where no flags mark property ndash Where the eye cannot be detained ndash Where striving is searching ndash Where straight lines have no place ndash Where paths get lost ndash Where the clouds drift lower ndash Where birds form spirals in the air ndash
Where you feel at homebecause here you can lose yourselfbecause here you can find yourself

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

Geschlossene Gesellschaft Private partyEvery society is a mix-up of many different groups and individuals To develop and fulfil evolution it needs a range of differences we have to see that both nationally and globally
Exclusion of special individuals people groups ndash the refusing of human achievements will always lead to problems and war
Segregation takes place gradually and we all have to be alert to the first signs of marginalization

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

In de marge on the marginLines and patterns have fascinated me for a long time I started manipulating calligraphic pens and all sorts of writing materials forming traces and structures with little details that carry the vulnerability of the moment This work-flow became my language the language in which I could express myselfIn this work I filled the margins and left out the centre the readable words The sometimes-fragile images and lines show what it can mean to live on the margin of Life

Along the greenwayWalking around my neighbourhood I enjoy looking out for lost and discarded ephemera I find most pieces up against the edges of the urban streets and particularly along my local greenway a neglected freight rail and canal corridor Here feral wildlife make home and travel through without being disturbed or noticed by the suburban life of a big city Along this fringe are also human stragglers whose presence I am compelled to record in the intimacy of an artistrsquos book

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

In de marge on the marginLines and patterns have fascinated me for a long time I started manipulating calligraphic pens and all sorts of writing materials forming traces and structures with little details that carry the vulnerability of the moment This work-flow became my language the language in which I could express myselfIn this work I filled the margins and left out the centre the readable words The sometimes-fragile images and lines show what it can mean to live on the margin of Life

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

I livets udkant On the margins of lifeThe idea for the book lsquoI livets udkantrsquo came to me when I found two wooden figures from Greenland in a second-hand shop The figures represent two Greenlanders Greenlanders live on the margin of the Danish Realm and live north of the Arctic Circle in the border country of possible existence on Earth The figures also represent an old man and woman who are at the margins of life ndash on the threshold of death But old people often hold great insight into life The Greenlanders wisdom of life is often linked to Nature which can crush a man at any time
The texts in this book comes from Knud Rasmussenrsquos collected descriptions of the Greenlanders The Greenlandic artist Hans Alaufesen Aasiaat (1922-1982) carved the wooden figures My uncle Bendt Olsen made the Tupilaqs The watercolours and layout of the book are by me Anita Pedersen

Udkant On the marginsThe 2012 theme lsquoUdkantrsquorsquoOn the marginsrsquo was a big challenge I myself live on the margins of Fredrikstad in Norway beautiful quiet with the sky stretching far above forest and sea It was obvious to think I should photograph my beloved Norwegian margins ndash yet this was not to be the case
This year I have only thought of form with edges facing outwards The book is inspired by the way bees build and their struggle for existence ndash like the way the outskirts often have to fight for their place Therefore my contribution this year became a bound book with 6 margins no centre and completely without text only pure margins and a spine facing downward

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

Geschlossene Gesellschaft Private partyEvery society is a mix-up of many different groups and individuals To develop and fulfil evolution it needs a range of differences we have to see that both nationally and globally
Exclusion of special individuals people groups ndash the refusing of human achievements will always lead to problems and war
Segregation takes place gradually and we all have to be alert to the first signs of marginalization

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

In de marge on the marginLines and patterns have fascinated me for a long time I started manipulating calligraphic pens and all sorts of writing materials forming traces and structures with little details that carry the vulnerability of the moment This work-flow became my language the language in which I could express myselfIn this work I filled the margins and left out the centre the readable words The sometimes-fragile images and lines show what it can mean to live on the margin of Life

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

On the marginsOn the margins explores what is at outer edges of physical and emotional experience the separations and boundaries that make up a human life Birth life death are interconnected grief and joy can exist together and one can be submerged psychologically in the past while operating in the present The inspiration is taken from my own experience of grief and joy the death of my parents and the joy of the birth of my son The topic of grief is also lsquoon the marginsrsquo in a society geared towards the denial of death my goal is to bring this common emotion into the mainstream

Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

In de marge on the marginLines and patterns have fascinated me for a long time I started manipulating calligraphic pens and all sorts of writing materials forming traces and structures with little details that carry the vulnerability of the moment This work-flow became my language the language in which I could express myselfIn this work I filled the margins and left out the centre the readable words The sometimes-fragile images and lines show what it can mean to live on the margin of Life

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

LandlockedLandlocked latterly refers to the remote place you inhabit in coming to terms with lossThe images were spontaneous in trying to find my friend I found myself- dressing in his clothes wearing his glasses Introspection Seeing the distorted world through his vision Grief is isolating no one wants to live there everyone around you wants you to move on but you remain at a standstill and no one really can come in
Formerly my friend was reclusive marginalised he flourished on pale pencil marks and intense notebooks Solitary needs in a big city he spoke little and then gently

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

ImpasseAs an adopted twin the process of taking or imagining images is synonymous with a process of self-representation and self-determination The image is a screen that protects and at the same time separates At some point beyond or before the image I aim but miss I am at the margin of a silence a blank slate rewriting a fiction that slides and disappears (The image slides against the plastic screen through which it was taken) I make and un-make myself at this point of non-penetration this impasse both defeating and sustaining constitutes an attempt to abreact an unrepresentable loss

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

In de marge on the marginLines and patterns have fascinated me for a long time I started manipulating calligraphic pens and all sorts of writing materials forming traces and structures with little details that carry the vulnerability of the moment This work-flow became my language the language in which I could express myselfIn this work I filled the margins and left out the centre the readable words The sometimes-fragile images and lines show what it can mean to live on the margin of Life

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Indian CollectionSmall Indian gouache paintings were kept in portable bundles and brought out to be viewed and passed around The pigments were protected from the light but the margins reveal another history Even within Western wall based exhibitions these Indian paintings still entice the viewer to draw close imagining the smell of the dusty pigments Catalogues and postcards only work as reminders of the original textures and vibrancy Working within the limitations of digital processes to trace a history of handling revealed in the margins of Indian paintings I have made my own Indian Collection

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Marginalize verb treat (a person group or concept) as insignificant or peripheralLife On the Margins is a reality for many people with Learning Disabilities (PWLD) in the UK They are often perceived as living on the periphery of our society as is evidenced by shameful incidences of Disability Hate Crime still being perpetuated against our fellow human beings Working in collaboration with PWLD they documented a week of their lives day by day using writing and photography I created a concertina book structure with pocket frames which had concealed text beneath the photos The blurring of the text demonstrates the collective myopia of UK society around this issue

In de marge on the marginLines and patterns have fascinated me for a long time I started manipulating calligraphic pens and all sorts of writing materials forming traces and structures with little details that carry the vulnerability of the moment This work-flow became my language the language in which I could express myselfIn this work I filled the margins and left out the centre the readable words The sometimes-fragile images and lines show what it can mean to live on the margin of Life

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

In de marge on the marginLines and patterns have fascinated me for a long time I started manipulating calligraphic pens and all sorts of writing materials forming traces and structures with little details that carry the vulnerability of the moment This work-flow became my language the language in which I could express myselfIn this work I filled the margins and left out the centre the readable words The sometimes-fragile images and lines show what it can mean to live on the margin of Life

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

From Margin to CenterThrough the observation of the environment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore this artistsrsquo book illustrates how the marginal (least important objects) is there to enhance the central image (Buddha) The viewpoint moves from level one to level five of the temple For instance on level one the margin is represented by the hundred dragons that encircled the hundred Buddhas enshrined on both sides of the hall The centre is the main Buddha Maitreya accompanied by his two attendant bodhisattvas Dharma Grove and Wondrous Appearance This artistsrsquo book is also to remind us that Buddhism moved from the margin to the centre during the Ming dynasty

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

CorridorThis book is about my experience living on the margin of the city defined by a river The river is dry during much of the year and violently flowing in others when the snow melts from the nearby mountains There are three themes that flow in the book the margins of society (homeless who live in the riverbed) the evidence of the controlling of rivers that feed the southwest and subsequent natural changes and margins of two countries Mexico and USA where the river flows from one to the other The book documents my walks through the margins of the river

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

Soslashren RygeThis year it is with great pleasure that we can introduce Soslashren Ryge as our opening speaker and Guest of Honour Ryge has had his own popular TV programme on DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) since 1988He has invited viewers to join him in his private garden over a hundred times to see the events and daily developments from dealing with chickens to tending the latest vegetable patch or nurturing a rose bush
The programmes have a gentle and intimate style both in how Ryge brings the viewer into his personal spaces and also in the shooting style as regular cameraman Egon has recorded the show on a single hand-held camera from the beginning In recent years Ryge has also developed another strong interest in his writing and special broadcasting projects investigating the ordinary people living in remote areas of Denmark His celebration of the ups and downs of daily life lsquoOn the marginsrsquo lsquoUdkantrsquo makes him a perfect choice to open our event this year as that is our theme
As an added treat our special guest will give a talk entitled lsquoHistorier fra Danmarkrsquo (Stories from Denmark) drawing on the stories he has discovered while working with the natural world and people going through Lifersquos everyday adventures

As before we are very grateful to all of the artists who have given their time and skills to participate in our events Because of them we now have an international Book Arts Festival which seems to grow each year
Special thanks to Norwegian Tommelise Haldrup Pettersen 2011 First Prize winner of the Doverodde Book Arts Center of Denmark Award for suggesting our 2012 theme UdkantSarah Bodman from The University of West England provided the translation On the margins Thanks to her for all her support
And while the Limfjordscentret may be situated on the margins of Denmark we have still gathered artists from around the world to participate in our latest new Festival venture the Artistsrsquo Books Anonymous On the margins SymposiumProminent artists have travelled to us from across the world to share their knowledge and art Thank you to our two Keynote speakers from Canada Maureen Piggins and Ewa Monika Zebrowski We are also glad to welcome American artists Doug Beube and Tatiana Ginsberg and Jesvin Yeo from Singapore Finally travelling from the UK are Sylvia Waltering and Lucy May SchofieldSuch an international list can only enlighten us to the global diversity and expertise in the field of book arts Additional thanks for helping select our Symposium candidates to the British panel Sarah Bodman Angie Butler Andrew Eason Linda Newington Mike Nicholson and Tom Sowden
Our other new experiment is the Writer-in-Residency project for which we were lucky to secure British poet and printmaker Nancy Campbell She has brought new life to Doverodde
