Close to Home: The Everyday Sublime” Exhibition Catalogue – A Triumph of Artistic Expression and Exceptional Printing

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the world in numerous ways, leaving an indelible mark on human society and individual lives. The world of art was not exempt from its influences, prompting artists to look inward and find inspiration in the everyday. The outcome? “Close to Home: The Everyday Sublime” – an art exhibition that brought together artists exploring the everyday sublime. Artists Fiona Grady, Linda Hemmersbach, Joanna Kirk, Minnie Lumai, Hannah Luxton, Lindsay Malay, Kittey Malarvie, Maria Teresa Ortoleva, and Deborah Tchoudjinoff delivered poignant works, reflecting their personal journeys through the pandemic.

The art exhibition’s catalogue, printed by the renowned London art gallery book printing service, Ex Why Zed, serves as a testament to the resilience and creative vitality of these artists. ExWhyZed’s role was far more than a print service provider; they were a partner in bringing the artists’ work to life, ensuring the catalogue was a visual and tactile treat befitting the evocative artwork.

Ex Why Zed’s “secret sauce”

On this project it was not merely their state-of-the-art HP Indigo digital press but their unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality results in challenging pandemic conditions. They understood that the catalogue was a vital tool for the artists and JGM Gallery to gain exposure and promote their work when conventional means were severely hampered. This understanding drove them to achieve exceptional print results.

The catalogue’s print specifications underscore ExWhyZed’s meticulous attention to detail and high production standards. The 253x203mm Portrait Books consisted of a 4pp cover on 300gsm Silk, matt laminated for a sophisticated finish. The catalogue comprised 36 pages of text printed on 150gsm Silk. Each page exhibited a full-colour print, making the artwork pop and resonate. After the printing process, the books were trimmed, collated, and perfect bound, resulting in a professionally finished product that was a pleasure to hold and peruse.

Ex Why Zed makes self publishing a truly pleasurable experience!
Brilliant communication from start to finish. Mike had endless patience for the many questions we asked. The guides provided were easy to follow and super helpful (the video guides are a must watch too). Our order of hardback illustrated children's books was delivered expertly packaged and on time. As for the finished product itself - stunning - a real joy to finally hold, beautifully made and perfectly printed! We couldn't have asked for more. Well, we did - we instantly placed an order for paperback children's colouring books too, which we are equally as happy with. Look forward to working with Ex Why Zed again in the future.
