Felon Herb by Carl Gent is a faux exhibition catalogue detailing an artist takeover Multiplex and their subsequent conversion of the arts space into an absinthe distillery. Displaying the potential for alternative arts spaces, combined with a penchant for growing and making, Felon Herb is a unique exploration of what it is to create, and the spaces we choose to do it in. Featuring beautiful photography, contemplative essays, and step-by-step guides to making and cooking with absinthe.

Everything is both more and less than itself by Matthew Verdon is a collection of poetry, essas, and incredible art. Beautifully presented on biodegradable paper, Everything is both more and less than itself interrogates the common and every day with a scientist’s logic, and a curator’s eye. Somewhere between art and science, Everything is both more and less than itself is as original as it is beautiful.

KELDER PRESS is an independent publishing house established in 2020 with the mission of affirming KELDER’s commitment to the commissioning and dissemination of new artist’s publications and interdisciplinary projects in printed form. Offering an antidote to the proliferation of digital publishing in the current cultural climate, KELDER PRESS aims to explore the potential of print in ways that are both innovative and sustainable. We aim to use digital publishing platforms to supplement rather than replace print, redressing a perceived imbalance and celebrating the unique qualities and characteristics of each medium, bringing them together in new and exciting ways that enhance the experience of the reader.
Following KELDER’s commitment to collaborative practice across disciplines KELDER PRESS endeavours to bring contributors together from the fields of art, poetry, anthropology, philosophy, cultural theory and beyond to create new, unexpected and fruitful partnerships. We aim to support writing that is daring and experimental, ideas that are radical and confrontational, in projects where the form is ever-shifting, always unique and uncompromisingly beautiful.
Our ambition is to complement KELDER’s artistic programme by producing a publication to accompany each and every project or exhibition. By inviting new contributors to produce written and visual responses to our programme we hope to expand both the critical scope as well as the network of collaboration, continuing the rich conversations initiated by each project. In addition to publications produced in direct response to our programme, KELDER PRESS has initiated the on-going project In the Round, a platform for experimental writing and artistic production, focusing on one new theme every six months.

We are open:
Monday - Saturday
10am - 5.30 pm
We are back open six days a week, with the whole store open for browsing. We will still of course be taking customer orders and you will still be able to buy food and cleaning products online through our online store.
We are able to be open 6 days a week again because of your consideration and care whilst in the shop. Though things are opening up, covid cases are still high and a lot of our staff have only received one jab. So we are asking customers to continue to leave that extra space, sanitise their hands and pull on their mask. We really appreciate it.
