Artist books selected from the Art Gallery of NSW Research Library's own artist book collection (acquisitions funded by the Women Artists Group) are shown alongside a selection of works not seen in Sydney before, from the Australian Bookbinders Without Boundaries touring exhibition. A diversity of approaches is included - artists' books, book objects, altered books and other book-related artforms - in more than twenty artists' responses to the opportunity to freely apply a wide range of techniques from varied artistic backgrounds encompassing painting, drawing, papermaking, sculpture, photography, printmaking, poetry, installation and digital media. To view and interact with one of the artist books in the exhibition, go to www.exquisitecopse.net (allow pop-ups for this site). |
