A type of paper bin bag used nationally in Denmark until about 10 years ago when black biodegradable plastic bags were introduced instead. The type of bag used is one-layered, made from a nice heavy recycled stock. Often the bin bags were made with two thin layers of paper, which would have been of no use for this purpose. Thankfully I found 11 unused bags my mom had saved, among many two-layered bags. </span></span></span></span><br />

Strangely, that first day was not only my 42nd birthday, but also that of both my grandmothers. <br />
That I share my birthday with my grandmothers, who I never knew, has also made the day a special one full of reflections on life and what connects us across the years.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Again this year Ambeck Design took part in the <i>World Book Night project</i> organised by Sarah Bodman of the <i>University of West England's Centre for Fine Print Research, Bristol</i>.</span></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In September 2010 I accepted the call to the project: <b>'An Inventory of Al-Mutanabbi Street'</b> initiated by Beau Beausoleil (USA) in July 2010 and co-curated by Sarah Bodman (UK).</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The purpose of the project is to “reassemble” some of the “inventory” of the reading material that was lost in the 5th of March 2007 car bombing of Al-Mutanabbi Street, Baghdad, Iraq – a street known for its booksellers – the literary and intellectual heart and soul for the community of Baghdad. On this day 30 people were killed and more than 100 wounded.</span></div>

One will be donated to the Iraq National Library in Baghdad. The other two copies are touring for the next few years in conjunction with shows of the <i>Al-Mutanabbi Street Broadside Project</i> as well as in shows of their own.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Baghdad was once founded and built in a circular way and its name at the time was: <i>Madinat al-Salaam</i> or <i>‘City of Peace’</i>. This has a sad irony now - and, being a child of the early 1970’s, I only associated Baghdad with death and war - rather than peace - from watching so many television news reports.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: #666666; font-size: x-small;">british printmaker and poet <a href="http://www.nancycampbell.co.uk/" target="_blank">Nancy Campbell</a> and I collaborated on a small book to promote the danish Festival. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: #666666; font-size: x-small;">The collaboration took place while exhibiting at a danish literature event/festival called 'Ordkraft' (<i>Word power</i>) in the city of Aalborg. Over the course of the three days the event lasted the book took form and each day something new was added. The idea was to introduce the concept of artist's books and show how one can be made. The title <i>Udkant</i> (On the margins) was the set theme of the <i>Doverodde Book Arts Festival</i> and Nancy wrote a short poem related to this, which was then translated into Danish by me as part of the development of the book.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I was however helping at the 3rd<i> Doverodde Book Arts Festival 2011</i> in Denmark (June 2-5th), which was a great event, once again bringing together lots of lovely work and great people. </span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Along with collating and designing the catalogue I also set up a Flickr account if you want to see pictures of what happened: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/doveroddebookarts/">www.flickr.com/photos/doveroddebookarts/</a></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In August I began my new role as <i>Festival Organiser</i> for the new-look <i>Doverodde Book Arts Festival IV & Symposium – 2012</i>, which I hope will be as successful as the previous ones co-ordinated by my colleague Liz Hempel-Jørgensen. As before it will be at the Limfjordscentret in Doverodde, Hurup, Thy, Denmark. </span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">You can read more about all that on the social networking site I set up: <a href="http://www.nordicbookarts.ning.com/">www.nordicbookarts.ning.com</a> or on <a href="http://www.bookarts-doverodde.dk/">www.bookarts-doverodde.dk</a></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Hope to see you at one of these events.</span><br />
