Arnolfini is home to one of the best specialist arts bookshops in the country.
We stock over 100 magazines and periodicals on art, design, literature and film as well as an exceptional range of books on contemporary art and culture. Our staff are adept at finding the ‘hard to find’ and can order books in for you. Link here to email them.
There are showcases of work by iam (information as material) and jewellery designer/maker Zoe Bassi.
iam was established in 2002 to publish work by artists who use extant material, selecting it and reframing it to generate new meanings, and who, in doing so, disrupt the existing order of things. Bristol-based Zoe Bassi creates jewellery in precious metals and enamel. Growing up in Edinburgh, her pieces are inspired by her drawings of the east coastline of Scotland and its villages placing an emphasis on detail, the drawn line and the bright colours of inks.
Also available in the bookshop is our recently launched new bi-annual journal entitled Concept Store - a discursive space for commissioned texts, artists' contributions and interviews. Continuing our engagement with contemporary design practice, each issue is guest-designed by a different designer.
