'Marbled Reams' is a print project founded in 2009 by
Glasgow based artist Tom Godfrey. The project started with the initial
production of 12 reams and continues with new editions produced on a bi-monthly
basis. Within The Modern Institute's ground floor vitrines, Godfrey will be
installing a rotating display of all 23 Marbled Ream editions produced so far. The
project is derived from an artwork produced by Godfrey (pictured) with the same title in
2007 where a ream of A4 paper was marbled along one edge and displayed on a
glass shelf. Acknowledging the potential vested in a stack of blank paper, the artwork has been developed into an
editioning/ publishing project where artists are invited to produce a single or
multiple A4 work that is photocopied onto an entire ream of paper. This is
marbled along the front edge offering a shared origin for all 500 sheets,
documented for the projects website, and then displayed in its entirety,
highlighting the projects link with both printed matter and sculpture. Pages from the reams are available for £1 each and annual
subscriptions are available for £18. http://www.marbledreams.com/
