Sendb00ks convenes for the first time in residence. Six artists travel to the Castello di Rocca Sinibalda, a scorpion-shaped fortress-palace perched 2,100 feet above the Turano Valley in the Lazio region of Italy, most recently renovated by architect Claudio Silvestrin. Beneath its Renaissance frescos, drawn directly from the Metamorphoses, the six artists will spend two weeks.
The commission: to re-interpret Ovid's Metamorphoses through the design of six detachable book sleeves. The sleeves will be produced and bound on site, and revealed at an opening dinner on 4 July before being made available as limited editions.
The residency is the first of what will become a recurring annual programme.
