Loose Leaf
—
Loose Leaf is an ongoing self publishing project by Manual. Published annually, each edition is a carefully curated selection of artworks by artists, designers, and photographers that have caught the attention of the studio. Part publication, part print series it exists in the form of a collection of unbound and large-format printed art works. It intends to celebrate images in a physical, livable form, a distinct departure from the online consumption of visual material that pervades our lives.
–
Each edition comes packaged and ready to be installed, not stored. Leaves are hole-punched for hanging on a wall with small aluminum push pins that come packaged. Its unbound format allows the viewer to edit, select, and reshuffle images on an ongoing basis, like a personal art gallery.
–
Manual specifically commissions and collaborates with select artists for the content of Loose Leaf. We view the project as an extension of the studio's ongoing interest in contemporary visual culture.
