AMBruno artists

Established in 2008, the artists' coalition AMBruno facilitates the development and dissemination of the book as primary medium in art practice. The initiative was originated, and is overseen by Sophie Loss. The makeup of the group changes with every new project. A unique feature of this initiative is that books are produced to a set theme for each annual project. The final works may be diverse in form and approach, but all have the thread of the originating topic running through.

AMBruno's project for 2024 is Intervals.

Proposals for new books to be made in response to the given theme are invited each year; a specialist in the field makes a selection of about twelve of these. Examples of past themes are: Black Circle, Words, Margins and rhythm; selections were made by Catriona Gourlay, Regine Ehleiter, Clive Phillpot and others.

The completed books are shown at book fairs and exhibitions throughout the year, with books being acquired by institutional collections such as the Tate Library and Archive, the National Art Library V&A, the British Library, the Kunstbibliothek Berlin, and the Library of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

The group's work has evolved to incorporate film/video and suites of prints

AMBruno: Artists' Books. Themed Projects: this 23-minute shows AMBruno's themed projects over a thirteen-year period from 2011 (Blue) to 2024 (Intervals). Note that the film is mostly silent, with occasional sound.
