We hope everyone is staying safe and creative, wherever you might be during the COVID-19 times.
We are Bocchi, a newly started independent that specializes in small run, custom made artist book and printed matter projects. The core concept of Bocchi projects is to collaborate and inspire individuals who want to create small run projects in the form of printed matter. Bocchi aims to provide solutions in realising concept, design, and execution for the individuals who need assistance in achieving their projects. If you have a project idea but do not know how to achieve it, you are not alone – not anymore – Bocchi can work with you to make it happen.
During our soft launch we are providing free project consultation via email to individuals who is interested in artist's book, zine, or printed matter projects and wants to brainstorm or get suggestions. We are doing a themed call for submission of projects related to self isolation, but general project ideas are also welcome. Here is the details of the themed call:
Theme: 一人ぼっち – Feeling lonely?
Getting stuck at home alone? Social distancing makes you feel lonely? Despite the isolation between individuals, communities, and everyday routines, no one is facing this alone. Since we are all stuck at home, besides eating canned soup and walking around inside the house, why not come up with an idea for an artist book/printed matter project? Why not take this time you have stuck at home to reflect on the feeling of being lonely – what is loneliness and what does it mean to you?
Bocchi is calling all creative individuals to submit their ideas of artist book/printed matter projects for a free consultation. In the theme of self reflection in loneliness, and/or emotions in relation to the current COVID-19 affected matters, individuals are encouraged to brainstorm and share their stories/thoughts with us that they want to turn into a book project. Submit your ideas using the form below.
Let’s get inspired and productive; let’s get through this difficult time together – you are not alone.
