In 2006 Martin Vincent moved to Glasgow from Manchester, where he had been co-director of the International 3 gallery and i3 Publications. In Glasgow, he found a city with plenty of galleries, loads of artists, but no specialist art bookshop. i3 was re-branded as Aye-Aye Books, and, in collaboration with Sapna Agarwal, Vincent opened Aye-Aye Book Depot – a year-long independent bookshop/project space at Glasgow Sculpture Studios. With one foot in England at the Aye-Aye Sorting Office, Islington Mill, Salford, Aye-Aye's transnational publications programme has dispensed books by David Mackintosh, Rachel Goodyear, Edwina fitzPatrick, Esther Shalev-Gerz and Anne-Marie Copestake. It now has a retail base at Glasgow's CCA. Aye-Aye's next project is to build some more shelves.
Thanks to Alex Jacobson for unfailingly doing useful stuff, Kathryn Elkin for volunteering in the old shop and general enthusiasm, everyone else who's volunteered their time, everyone who's let us have books on consignment, particularly the Modern Institute, David Mackintosh for the logo, Rob Niven for the old sign, GSS, CCA, Alan Kean for shelvage, the Dental Hospital for throwing out all that useful furniture...
The Aye-Aye is the world's largest nocturnal primate. It lives in Madagascar.
