Sleeperhold Publications is an ephemeral platform for artist publications and functions as a valid excuse to experiment with the creation of content, different media and ways of distributing,… So far SHP released a photobook, a silkscreen posterset and a deck of gaming cards. There are no fixed methodologies in dealing with creation and, at its best, an entirely different tactic will be applied to every SHP number.

The fourth release on Sleeperhold is a paperback which functions as a collection of short stories. The work of the 14 artists shown in this publications functions as one continuous storyline, but every chapter can easily stand on it’s own.

Contributions by Beni Bischof, Jason Fulford, Dr Phullip Cribb, We Have Photoshop, Hiromi Nakajima, B.H. Friedman, Ferdinand Kriwet, Ward Heirwegh, Lieven Lahaye, Sara Deraedt, Aurélien Arbet, Jérémie Egry & Nicolas Poillot, J.G. Ballard, David Horvitz & Peter Sutherland. A text functioning as an interlude was written by Serge Delbruyère and Dirk Van Bastelaere.

Joan Sallas, a virtuoso of the fold, has meticulously researched and mastered the history and techniques of the art of the fold. With the banquet table as setting, his expertise and philosophy pour forth in the form of splendid, folded linen.

In this precious book, Sallas shares his folding wisdom, which Charlotte Birnbaum contextualizes in two essays on the history of napkin folding. The texts are accompanied by an illustrated catalogue of folding techniques.

Design Act: Socially and Politically Engaged Design Today—Critical Roles and Emerging Tactics is a project that presents and discusses contemporary design practices that engage with political and societal issues. Since 2009, the Iaspis project Design Act has been highlighting and discussing practices in which designers have been engaging critically as well as practically in such issues. Itself an example of applied critical thinking and experimental tactics, the process behind the Design Act project is considered as a curatorial, participatory and open-ended activity. Design Act has developed through an online archive, public events, and an international network.
