Bonington Vitrines are a series of micro exhibitions which take place within the Bonington Gallery Foyer. They comprise of three display cases which present a variety of objects, artworks and printed material.
Marbled Reams was a publishing project run by Bonington Gallery curator Tom Godfrey from 2009–2012. It involved inviting individuals to submit A4 works on paper that were reproduced to a value of 500 pages (a ‘ream’). The front edge of each paper stack was marbled and then pages were available to be purchased individually.
Certain artists challenged the confines of the project. Sam Gordon produced 500 different pages; Laura Aldridge made a double sided work; Mark Harasimowicz hand fed 500 pieces of newsprint into his home printer and Heike-Karin Föll made a five page work that is repeated through the ream.
The project has previously been exhibited at Limoncello, London; Donlon Books, London; The Modern Institute, Glasgow and CCA, Glasgow. It has also been presented at publishing fairs including Publish & Be Damned, London; Spike Island Book & Zine Fair, Bristol and Three Letter Words, London.

The Raw Print Archive was initiated five years ago as a research and teaching resource by Matt Gill, Senior Lecturer in Fashion Marketing, Management and Communication at Nottingham Trent University.
The Archive brings together a wide range of periodicals; including local publications such as Forest Forever and LeftLion; seminal publications such as i-D, Colors, Toilet Paper, The Face; and slightly more obscure and surprising additions such as the short-lived Virgin inflight magazine Carlos.
If you would like to find out more about these publications or any of the other publications that make up the Archive, email Matt Gill at matthew.gill@ntu.ac.uk.
