More about A Book-Making Game

This book was made by playing Carson & Miller's A Book-Making Game.The game was played by

creatives from Outpost using Central Saint Martins Museum & Study Collection as their starting

point. The rules for A Book-Making Game are as follows:

I . This a game for eight players.

2. Each player starts with a sheet of paper that is pre-folded into eight sections.

3. Each player must decide which section they would like to work in.

4. Taking a starting point from the objects and materials that players have seen in the

Museum & Study Collection, each player should make a visual response in the section they

have selected to work in.

5. Players have a fixed time to work in; when the timer sounds, each player should stop and

pass the sheet to the player on their left.

6. Repeat until each of the eight sections of each sheet of paper have been worked in.

A Book-Making Game is part of a wider project that includes the exhibition Games of

Picking & Choosing. The exhibition can be seen at Central Saint Martins Museum & Study

Collection window gallery (next to the Canopy at Kings Cross), from I I November 2019

More about Carson & Miller

Collaborative artists Carson & Miller use play and game-playing to explore the physical and conceptual spaces of museums, archives and collections. Their game-playing often involves staff, as well as bringing in visitors who might not normally have 'behind the scenes' access to these spaces. Carson & Miller's games have proven to be a fruitful way in which to explore these collections - their physical presence, their mass and meaning and their availability to the visitor - as well as providing an opportunity for staff to experience the collections in a different way. Carson & Miller's games open up opportunities for interaction, handling and touch, and it is the notion of touch -in its physical, sensual and intellectual sense - that underpin this book-making game.

Jonathan Carson is Associate Dean of Student Experience & Enhancement at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts, London. Rosie Miller is Director of Art & Design in the School of Arts & Media, University of Salford.

Tips for making your book: Print at A3 if you can - but A4 is also fine. Trim the outer edge before you fold -use the black line as a guide. Fold in half top to bottom and then unfold. Now, fold in half left to right, and unfold. You should have four sections. Now, fold each section again so that you have eight sections; each section should contain one of the eight images that make up the book.After you have folded, unfold and lay out your paper, flat. Look for the dots - cut a straight line between them. If you get stuck, search on line for 'simple folded bookmaking' and you'll find some useful diagrams and guides. Good luck and enjoy!
