Today at 1pm: Graphic Negotiations #4 with Rose Nordin & Rosa-Johan Uddoh
 |
Graphic Negotiations is a series of online lunchtime talks with designers, exploring the role of design in creating artists’ books. The format and topic will vary – we wanted to give designers the opportunity to present their work in whichever way they wanted to. In some cases designers will be in conversation with artists they’ve collaborated with in the past, in others they’ll talk about their work and ideas more generally or present a visual portfolio.
This fourth event in the series features Rose Nordin, a designer we have worked with on several projects including as a designer on the best-selling Shy Radicals, and as co-author (as part of the OOMK collective) and designer of The Library Was. Most recently, Rose designed the forthcoming book by artist Rosa-Johan Uddoh, Practice Makes Perfect, and will be joined by Rosa at this event to discuss the collaborative process.
Wednesday 15 June, 1pm on Zoom. Free and open to all – RSVP via Eventbrite

New book: Fantasies on a Found Phone, Dedicated to the Man Who Lost It – Mahmoud Khaled
 |
Available to preorder now: Fantasies on a Found Phone, Dedicated to the Man Who Lost It by Mahmoud Khaled (2022).
Drawn from an unlocked phone, found in a public toilet, the images and texts present a portrait of a stranger. Moving between the erotic, intimate, baroque and everyday, the compulsive sequence of images references the dissonant and voyeuristic experience of scrolling through social media and swiping in dating apps, and the clash of hyper-capitalist forces of productivity and technology with the intimacy of a queer male gaze.
This publication accompanies the first UK solo exhibition by Mahmoud Khaled at The Mosaic Rooms, which opens on 22 June 2022. For more information visit The Mosaic Rooms website.
Fantasies on a Found Phone, is co-published by Book Works and The Mosaic Rooms in an edition of 1,000 copies, soft cover, housed in an opaque bag, 144pp, full colour, 106 mm x 178 mm, designed by Marwan Kaabour.
