hi-noon books

Hi-Noon Books is a new publishing initiative that celebrates and explores the spirit of dialogue, discourse, and shared inquiry that characterises artistic communities around the world. 

Our inaugural publication, Found in Translation is a collaboration between the London College of Communication, UAL and Nihon University, Tokyo. Representing the culmination of a seven month creative exchange that launched at T3 Festival of Photography, Tokyo, the artists’ visual work is contextualised by new essays from writers Darian Leader, Peter Lewis, Lee Mackinnon and Sasha Portis.

Our motivation in setting up Hi-Noon Books is to advocate for the transformative potential of artistic practice. Each new publication aims to foster connections, sustain creative communities, and generate new ways of seeing.

+ About the book

What is the lesson of the vine? I asked artists, writers and winegrowers the question and their responses, reflections and songs are gathered together in this publication. Textual images are roused and conjured up, such as the insatiable mouth of the winelouse devouring the language of the vine; or the surge and flow of the vine-triloquist speaking in intoxicated tongues; nocturnal fires in the vineyards; gardens of paradise and gardens of errors. The vines become memory, idea and proposal, a fertile living construct that connects speech and image, thought and generosity. – Rut Blees Luxemburg, extract taken from publications Foreword

Rut Blees Luxemburg contextualises her new public art work for a community forum in the rural Moselle valley through inviting new texts by philosophers, novelists, winegrowers and poets to contemplate the pedagogical tools of nature, distinct to the vine plant. The book meanders from word to image, from nature to culture, from labour to pleasure.

This beautifully produced book is published in a small edition by The Everyday Press
