It\u2019s seven years since the first publication of independent serial, the Pam Flett Press<\/a><\/em>. Four issues completed, tens of thousands of words and many photographs, they essay everyday things and places, and use these as a means with which to think differently.<\/p>\n

Joanne Lee<\/a>‘s Pam Flett Press\u00a0<\/em>is marking the occasion with an exhibition, reading room and thinking space in North London’s\u00a0Five Years<\/a>, opening on Saturday 17 March.<\/p>\n

‘A seven-year cycle happens every day\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/a> –\u00a0A reading room, exhibition, and thinking space<\/strong>
\nFive Years<\/a>, Archway, London N19 4AJ<\/strong>
\nSaturday 17 March to Sunday 25 March 2018
\nOpen: Saturday – Sunday, 1PM-6PM
\nClosing Event: Sunday 25 March 4PM-7PM<\/p>\n

\"Flyer<\/a><\/p>\n

Call yourself a bloody professional<\/em>: on avoiding a career and pursuing amateurism as a creative and critical strategy.
\nLord Biro and the writing on the wall<\/em>: on the names we go by and the curious messages to be discerned from city surfaces.
\nGumming up the works<\/em>: on gum, compost, and ways to chew things over.
\nVague terrain<\/em>: on brownfield sites, in between-ness and other uncertainties.<\/p>\n

Several others are in progress.
\nI see faces<\/em>: on pareidolia and what might be read into things.
\nWitches knickers and carrier bag theories<\/em>: on plastic bags and all they can contain.
\nThe good place that is no place<\/em>: on visions of utopia and ideas of home.
\nWaiting for a bus that never comes<\/em>: on lingering at bus stops and explorations by public transport
\nA guide to the retail universe<\/em>: on the contemporary high street and edge of town retail parks.<\/p>\n

Working on a long-term project (a life\u2019s work, even) has periods of excited development and intense production, as well as the inevitable doldrums of stuck-ness and slow uncertainty. It ebbs and flows through cycles of collecting, making, shaping, thinking, getting lost and being re-found that can take many months or a single day.<\/p>\n

The project\u2019s presentation at Five Years is an opportunity to think about what\u2019s done and what is yet to do.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a reading room, exhibition, and a space for diagramming future developments.<\/p>\n

You are invited to look, read, listen and discuss, joining a series of interlocutors whose conversations will explore the Press\u2019 project.<\/p>\n

\u2018A seven-year cycle happens every day\u2019 is a line from The Fall track \u2018Over! Over!\u2019 As a band, they have provided the actual and conceptual sound-track from which the Press has emerged. Mark E. Smith has been a lodestar for exploring an everyday that is both vernacular and esoteric. The Press\u2019 presentation at Five Years marks his recent passing and pays homage through a curated playlist from the substantial body of work he leaves behind.\u00a0<\/em>

About Jo:<\/strong>
\nI write and speak about curiosity, amateurism, wonder, imagination, interpretation and resourcefulness for various events, publications and sites. I use photography and the moving image as well as drawing and print, and I retain a fascination for bookworks and independent publishing. Working with the things and places I encounter in daily life, I tend to think that if you don\u2019t call it art, it\u2019s usually more interesting. From a base in Sheffield, I produce the\u00a0Pam Flett Press<\/em><\/a>\u00a0in collaboration with graphic arts studio\u00a0dust<\/em><\/a>, and am engaged using words and images in multiple projects with creative and critical friends. I\u2019m Senior Lecturer in Graphic Design at Sheffield Hallam University. You can find me as @generalistjo<\/a> in the usual places.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
