Not Available in Good Bookshops [ISBN 978-1-905659-14-2] is a crowd created publication that was imagined,designed and developed by some of the exhibitors and visitors to Sluice__2017 and published by SUSAK PRESS. It was open to contributions from 12:00 noon on Saturday 30 September 2017 to 18:00 on Tuesday 3 October 2017.

The images of saccharine, faux Meissen ballerinas and shepherdesses, dolls with dolls, posed in front of the artist’s paintings, collages or found fabrics are installation photographs or the documentation of performances. As the images are on the recto of the printed sheet (the usual home of text), the text, now on the verso, becomes destabilized, as if fabricated to illustrate the image.
