The Memorial Walks celebrates a unique project, in which artist Simon Pope invited a series of writers to memorise a scene from a landscape painting, which they would then be asked to recall while out walking in the open country. Continuing the exploration of memory and place at the heart of Simon Pope's multi-disciplinary practice, this artist's book acts as a 'field guide' to the seventeen different walks that made up project and features recollections from well-known literary names such as Geoff Dyer, Iain Sinclair, Hari Kunzru, Trezza Azzopardi and Tom McCarthy.

An English Journey is a combined book and DVD project by the artist Andrew Cross. Published to coincide with his new video and photographic exhibition 3 hours from here it casts a typically adroit and observant eye over the changing face of the English landscape and road transport network. Following the route (from Southampton to the North West of England) followed by J.B. Priestley in his original 1930s English Journey, it closes in on that increasingly ubiquitous mainstay of the contemporary English road, the long-distance container lorry.
Featuring essays by the renowned social historian and geographer Doreen Massey, and by project curators Steven Bode and Bernadette Buckley, this beautifully designed small-format publication also incorporates extracts from Priestley's original text. The accompanying DVD includes a special interactive and extended version of Cross's video record of the journey, 3 hours from here.

Over the last few years, Marion Coutts has emerged as one of the most engaging and inventive voices on the British contemporary art scene, attracting increasing attention for a highly original body of work whose subtle use of the moving image is allied to a wider object-based aesthetic. Produced to accompany a recent survey exhibition of her work, and pivoting around a new video installation, 'Everglade', this substantial monographic publication captures the distinctiveness, and the diversity, of Coutts' practice.
