Welcome to InPrint
InPrint are a group of visual artists and poets who specialise in collaborative work. For more about the group, and its ground-breaking Poetry Vending Machine (PVM), please see our About page.
New poetry from Caroline
InPrint is hibernating. Nevertheless poet Caroline Gilfillan has just published a fine new collection of poems entitled Yes, which is about as positive as you can get. It is available from her at £5 plus postage. It includes the fabulous "Ghost" – a highlight of her readings in the past few months.
Paston exhibition at North Walsham
Sad farewell, but joyful occasion
Present at the farewell party for Lisa, who returns to her native Australia towards the end of November, were fellow InPrint founder-members Annette Rolston and Rupert Mallin, plus current members Caroline Gilfillan and Mike Fenton. The part was hosted by InPrint poet Tim Lenton and his wife Dot. Lisa's children Dashiel and Blossom also took part.
End of an era for InPrint poet
The group is having a get-together in the early part of October to celebrate Lisa's time with us and to say goodbye to her, her husband Errol and children Dash and Blossom.
Meanwhile Lucy Care, organiser of the Paston Project, with which InPrint has been involved for well over a year, has an exhibition at the Griffon Gallery in North Walsham, Norfolk, this October. It runs until the gallery puts on a version of the Paston Exhibition starting on October 30.
New web magazine for poetry and art
InPrint founder member Rupert Mallin, who is now working independently, has just published the first edition of textVISUAL, an online magazine of texts and visuals, occasionally overlapping and melting into each other.
Among other distinguished names featured are three members of InPrint – artist Mike Fenton and poets Lisa D'Onofrio and Tim Lenton – as well as work from Rupert himself.
He intends to publish textVISUAL three times a year, in June, October and February. He adds: "However, there will be an ‘organic’ element within each four-month period of ‘publication,’ so I hope each issue will be worth returning to between issues."
The magazine can be found here.
Visions in a tent at Welborne
The excellent Norwich 20 Group Voicing Visions exhibition, featuring the work of three InPrint poets plus former member Rupert Mallin, moved to Welborne, a village near Dereham in Norfolk, for the Arts Festival there. The festival is organised by Mike Webb, and this week took place on the weekend of June 13 and 14 – a stunning mixture of visual art, literature and music, plus clowns and horses. Caroline Gilfillan and Tim Lenton were there on the Saturday, as our picture proves. Music by Axol Loughrey, Nappertandy and Breton group Taillevent was all compelling, and the sun was out all day.
Walking poetry at Art Alive
Paston Church was open again to the public for the Art Alive weekend of May 23-25. InPrint artist Annette Rolston was there all weekend, demonstrating printmaking and showing the handmade book to interested visitors. Meanwhile InPrint poet Lisa D'Onofrio offered poetry walks to the discerning, using part of one of the walks from the newly published book, Exploring Paston Country, by Lucy Care and Jack Earl.
Lisa was also involved with the other InPrint poets in the superb Voicing Visions exhibition put on by the Norwich Twenty Group of artists at St Margaret's Church in St Benedict's, Norwich, from May 11 to 22. The private view was so full that people were queuing outside, and as well as the exhibition itself, the Twenty Group produced a catalogue and CD to professional standard. As well as Lisa, the exhibiton also featured Caroline Gilfillan, Tim Lenton and former InPrint poet Rupert Mallin. They also have poems in the catalogue, and their voices can be heard on the CD.
On the edge
InPrint poet Lisa D'Onofrio considers her options as she researches a poetry walk for Art Alive at Paston.
Out of the Grapevine
InPrint artist Annette Rolston and Martin Laurance took down the Paston Grapevine exhibition on 19 April, with some help from gallery owner Peter Low. InPrint poet Tim Lenton took some of the pictures over to Paston and seized the opportunity to research a couple of Paston walks, which will appear in the forthcoming guidebook being written by Lucy Care.
Next event in the Paston saga: Art Alive at Paston Church over the weekend of May 23-25.
Grapevine evening well attended
The special Wednesday evening Paston event at the Grapevine Gallery in Norwich attracted a very good attendance and received many comments that went way beyond appreciative – but sadly this excellent exhibition has received almost no media publicity. The Gallery is very well suited to the show, and the variety and quality of work on display are first class, as was emphasised by gallery owner Peter Low.
InPrint members were to the forefront again: poet Caroline Gilfillan organised the events and hosted proceedings. Artist Annette Rolston explained the process of putting the hand-made book together, and poets Lisa D'Onofrio and Tim Lenton gave readings, together with Caroline herself and Paston poets Dot Cobley, Kay Riggs and Rupert Mallin. Paston Heritage Society chairperson Lucy Care gave an amusing and enjoyable introduction to the Letters, and Jo Berry sang three songs – one from the 15th century, a more modern folk song about Bromholm and one of Caroline's poems that had been put to music by Tony Triggs. So music has become part of the collaboration between poetry and the visual arts!
The exhibition continues until April 18.
