Danny Aldred, teaches on the BA Graphic Arts course at Winchester School of Art. Danny set up Book-lab.org. in March 2013, presenting New Art Of Making Books conference. NAMB explored the transformation of the artist book and the connection between physical and digital media.

In 2015 Danny co-published Code-x, a series of essays further exploring ideas from the first conference.

Substance organiser Dave Kirby says, "Substance happily coincides perfectly with the fifth anniversary of the New Art Of Making Books conference organised by Danny in 2013, and we are delighted to have Danny co-curating Substance".

The BA Illustration course at the University of Portsmouth have very kindly agreed to host two lectures and workshops with Substance artists. The first will be on November 17th with Guy Begbie. Look out for more details of these events in the coming weeks.
Dr Maureen O'Neill is a senior lecturer on the BA Illustration course at the School of Art and Design at the University of Portsmouth and curator of The Ministry of Books.


The Ministry Of Books is an artist book collection and research initiative that holds a fascinating archive of purchases, donations, staff and student production. The aim is to support, promote, encourage and strengthen the production of Artists' Books at the University of Portsmouth.
We are delighted to be able to present a selection of works from The Ministry Of Books at Aspex as part of the Substance event.
