Inter- originated from MA Art Theory at Chelsea College of Art and Design. Collaboration is integral to their practice and they take this process further by working with Camberwell Press. The project assessed the boundaries between client and designer, theory and communication, as well as the boundaries and restrictions established by the project.

Parts & Labour is an experiment devised by John Chilver and Brighid Lowe to reflect on the material conditions of art production. The emphasis, as the title says, is on labour. Recent debates have rightly underlined that both contemporary art and capital value immaterial labour above getting ones hands dirty. This project examines relations to material labour that artworks remain dependent on, though these are typically concealed and devalued. Camberwell Press produced a fold out exhibition pamphlet for the show, currently in the Camberwell Space.

Detours is an exhibition showcasing the work of 11 artists who are participating the the 2011/12 AA2A (Artists' Access to Art Colleges) scheme at Camberwell, Chelsea and Wimbledon (CCW) colleges. The scheme represents a detour from the artists’ usual practice, in terms of location, materials and ideas. Even a slight shift from the norm can engender radical changes. The scheme provides mid-career artists with exposure to new environments, and offers access to alternative media and techniques, encouraging variety and diversity within their practices.

The catalogue for Among Other Things was designed to reflect the exhibition’s focus on relational encounters with and between people, and the problem of scrutinising the function of objects in a relational and traditional context.

A small group of enterprising students took it upon themselves to organise an exhibition of 150 of their colleagues in The Biscuit Factory in Bermondsey, from 6th - 9th May 2011. The nineteenth century building was the inspiration behind the name of the exhibition, referencing the historical entertainment of the 'peep shows' – showing images for a small fee through a small hole or magnifying glass.

Peles Empire refers to both a curatorial team (Katharina Stoever and Barbara Wolff), an ongoing artwork, and two galleries – one in London and one in Cluj.

The BA Illustration 2011 graduate catalogue OVO: Camberwell College Class of 2011 present … was designed by Joseph Hales of Fraser Muggeridge and edited by Billie Muraben. The idea was to curate the content in a way that gave it more of a lifespan than the standard catalogue format. The work was organised by chapter according to discipline, and the visual content, biographies and contact details were separated to give each contributors more weight, past being pages of ‘business cards’.

The BA Drawing Catalogue was designed by Freddy Williams with photography by Lerryn Whitfield and Adisara ZenPuangchompoo with an introduction by Course Director Kelly Chorpening.

What role does ‘the materiality of things’ play in our relationship to the objects we create and consume?

Elusive brought together the work of 29 artists. It featured photography, video, performance and book works, and although all the imagery relates to the camera, none is about photography itself. It could be argued that the camera apparatus, although a recording instrument, also offers a space for play. The idea being explored here is of the camera as conduit, a place for the imagination. The work featured in this exhibition gave the artists an opportunity to examine imagery which is unpredictable, improbable, informative and capricious. Camberwell Press produced a publication in conjunction with the Elusive show in Camberwell Space 2011.

Terminator was the first live project of the newly re-launced Camberwell Press. Working in partnership with Camberwell Space and curator Juan Bolivar, the former Press designers, Ross Bennett, Oliver Chapman and Louis Carter, produced a lo-fi risograph publication with a fold out cover and poster. The design rationale for the publication attempted to echo some of Bolivar's concerns; notions of contemporary collaboration, the relationships that practitioners have with technology and materials, as well as the incessant march of technology and the heightened possibility of a cybernetic future.
