Matt’s Gallery is pleased to present an archival display of artists’ books, artworks and ephemera from Piece of Paper Press, dating from 1994 to the present day.

Piece of Paper Press is an ongoing artists’ book series founded by author Tony White in 1994. The project was designed to address the economic conditions of the period, but has continued unchanged: a lo-fi, sustainable format used to commission, publish and distribute limited editions of new writings and visual works by artists and writers. Each book is made from a single A4 sheet, printed both sides then folded, stapled and trimmed by hand. Piece of Paper Press editions are always given away free.

For Matt’s Gallery, White presents a vitrine-based display of all Piece of Paper Press titles to date – from contributors including Ian Bourn, Tim Etchells, M John Harrison, Sharon Kivland, Liliane Lijn, Elizabeth Magill, Andrea Mason, Katharine Meynell, Michael Moorcock, James Pyman, Sheena Rose, Suzanne Treister, Alison Turnbull, Joanna Walsh and many more – alongside a wealth of artwork, ephemera and clippings from the project’s archive.

The forty-sixth title from Piece of Paper Press, Tones by Andrew Mottershead, will be released during the exhibition run.

Tony White is the author of novels including The Fountain in the Forest and Foxy-T, as well as one work of non-fiction and numerous short stories. A former writer in residence at the Science Museum, he is currently an RLF Fellow at Royal Holloway University of London. Since 1994, White has edited and published the artists’ book series Piece of Paper Press. His next novel Phantom at the Feast – the follow-up to The Fountain in the Forest – is published in November 2025.

Thirty-one years of Piece of Paper Press: artists’ books, artworks and ephemera, 1994–2025 will take place in the Outset Archive on the Mezzanine, alongside Katie Cuddon's exhibition No Dimensions in the gallery space. Both exhibitions will be open on the same dates and times, with their private views held together.
