Ian Whittlesea & The Everyday Press – Some Books & Some Other Books
Reid Building Foyer
4th August – 5th October 2026
A display of Ian Whittlesea’s publications, alongside some related archival source material. The display marks the recent publication by The Everyday Press of The Rosicrucian Papers of Sissarrad G. Balyan, which records an archive of material purchased by Whittlesea.
Ian Whittlesea (b. 1967, UK) lives in London. His work is concerned with words, and with the ability of text to transform the physical and psychic state of the viewer. It assumes many forms, from painstaking paintings to printed books, ephemeral posters and transient projections, and explores the relationships between language, light, image and diagram both on the page and in the world.
Recent solo exhibitions include Some books and light to read them by, PrintRoom, Rotterdam NL (2018), In the beginning… 1961 Projects, Singapore (2017), Breath is Life, Grundy Art Gallery, Blackpool (2015), Attaining Cosmic Consciousness, Tenderbooks, London (2014) and A Breathing Bulb, Marlborough Contemporary, London (2014).
