Edition Nord is based in Minamiuonuma, Niigata, the hometown of designer Shin Akiyama. Its unique approach to handmade bookmaking is characterized by a communal living environment that is welcoming and open to everyone; materials procurement via the Internet; investigation of production techniques using such sources as YouTube; and use of office multifunction printers. Edition Nord's activities have been highly acclaimed at art book fairs and exhibitions in Japan and abroad, and they have even been invited to give workshops and lectures overseas.
Through these experiences, their interest has gradually shifted from designing to mediating local communities and artists in book production. In recent years, they have been conducting new experiments in a collaborative production with the help of students at Kobe Design University, where Akiyama lectures, and collaborators in the Kansai region.
The exhibition will focus on the production process. The exhibition space will be transformed into a factory, where visitors will see the actual production process along with the collaborators. The exhibition will also feature past collaborative productions as well as surplus materials. During the exhibition term, Akiyama himself plans to reconfigure the space several times. The title, "Factory dddd," is derived from the gallery name "ddd," with an additional "d" to evoke continuous production through a series of sounds.
