The Imaginative Press began publishing in 2014. Since then it has produced around 25 pamphlets and catalogues.

These fall into two main categories:

(1) The research projects of Dr James Lattin, former curator of the Museum of Imaginative Knowledge. Dr Lattin’s investigations have taken him from lay-bys to Newfoundland, with an enthusiasm for everyday objects.

(2) The investigations of James Mansfield, founder of the Imaginative Press. This includes the now concluded project on the time spent by Joseph Beuys in Connemara, and some related topics.

Ethos

I want to make publications which are:

-colourful and simple in terms of their design, using a DIY approach

-affordable (unlike many artists’ publications!) as they are very much an ephemeral thing.

-able to entertain and inform the reader, and to deal with serious issues in an approachable way.
