“Borbonesa’s third volume is an ongoing collaboration between Borbonesa and the
remaining members of the Belgian art assemblage 'Emitron'. In accordance with the very
specific advisements of Emitron, Borbonesa has been redressing and re-articulating their
works, unseen since the group's official disbandment in 1986. This is achieved through the
coordination of performative lectures, public interventions and retrospective exhibitions, as
well as the production of an irregularly printed periodical entitled 'Emitron - An Occasional
Micropaper'.”

Borbonesa is a group of artists based predominantly in the south of England collaborating to produce multi-authored artworks including bookworks, occasional papers and animated film. The group was formed in 2001 in Brighton. In addition to our practice as artists, we work in partnership with schools and cultural organisations to devise and deliver creative learning opportunities for learners of all ages and backgrounds.
