Abstract: | On the invitation of Grafixx Festival, Belgium, Good Press were asked to produce a workshop. An alternative proposition was created whereby the facilitators of the workshop carried out the production of publications in a service-role, giving the visitor reward for their time and knowledge. An 'On Demand' service was considered, inspired by the nature of sharing, duplicating, bootlegging, community and economy. Each individual and group that Museums Press and Good Press had worked with over its existence (400+) was asked to provide an 8-page publication which would be printed on-site at the festival in exchange for a conversation. It highlighted the sprawling generosity in current independent and DIY practices and subverted the publisher’s role to become the laboured printer. Taking influence and cues from local printers, the giveaway ethos of contemporary festivals and a subversion of the anonymous 21st century publisher, the service became performance with a stylised environment, uniforms and stressed outlook. | ||||
