5ever books were invited by NAG (Marcus McShane) to do a 7-hour micro-residency during The Performance Arcade 2021.
The residency became a collaborative pop-up book factory: as long as the public circled in, energy inevitably transformed matter towards a book object state. Contributions took many forms: hand drawings, on-site typewritten notes, short stories, graphic art, poetry and other works from a total of 40 contributors.
This final book object holds all the contributions from that event.
Includes: new poem Tiny by Ockham award winning poet Helen Rickerby; visual contributions from literary poet and punk Kerry Ann Lee; contributions from 5ever authors Alexa Wilson and Nani Mahal; numerous contributions from local artists and writers, including but not limited to: Nicole Gaston, Marika Pratley, Adam Ben-Dror, Cricket, Linda Lee, Tallulah Farrar, Anne-Lisa Noordover, Kate Isabella, Ollie Hutton.
About 5ever books
5ever is an underground publishing house based at Rebel Press, Trades Hall in Te Whanganui-aTara. We print, splice, bind and chop pesky dank little books. Our scope is nebulous. Form and sense of disciplinarity remains plural. We are serious in our playfulness.
