surplus to requirements

This book is a collabortaion between groups of artists at Manchester Metropolitan University (Made Collective) and the University of the West of England, Bristol working from research gathered around an overarching theme of 'Surplus to Requirements'.

The artists have produced a creative response to two diverse collections in their respective cities, the Bookbarn in Bristol and the Herbarium at Manchester Museum prompting questions that such collections may raise about the past and propose for the future.

MMU (Made Collective): Lucy May Schofield, Nick Fleming, Liz Machin, Tony Eve, Joan Beadle, Hilary Judd, Sylvia Waltering, Jacqueline Butler; UWE: Sarah Bodman, Paul Laidler, Guy Begbie, Andrew Eason, Tom Sowden, Helen Allsebrook, Teri Makassih, Angie Butler, Natalie McGrorty

  1. Thanks for putting this online - looks great! Can't wait to see the publication.

    (Is there any possibility you could correct the spelling of my name? It sounds very exotic 'Helles Allesbrook' but I'm just plain simple Helen Allsebrook from Leeds. I did laugh when I found it!).

    Many thanks,
    Helen

  2. Sorry Helen Allsebrook from Leeds, mistake corrected! We'll try and get the books to you eventually. I apologise about the long wait, I guess you know what the academic year can be like once you get sucked back in.
