If a post-Literate society might also encompass new ways of thinking about reading, we could think of contemporary artists’ books as a site of practice beyond that of McLuhan’s sign posting of the invention of moveable type as fundamentally responsible for how the Western world physically reads: “along the straight Lines of the printed page.” SARAH BODMAN (Abstract)– ARTISTS’ BOOKS AS A PHYSICAL SITE OF PRACTICE Sarah Bodman presents her keynote lecture. Dr Lyn Ashby – Australian artist and scholar making books.Brad Freeman – Founder and editor in chief of the Journal of Artist’s Books.Sarah Bodman – Senior Research Fellow for Artists Books, CFPR editor of the Blue Notebook.Three keynote presenters lead the program: The conference sought to address 3 main themes relating to the artists book:
Over July 16, 17 and 18 ABBE featured a triptych of activities a conference, an exhibition of books, an artists book fair and allied exhibition events at the State Library of Queensland, Grahame Galleries, The Studio West End, the IMA and Impress Printmakers Gallery. Now a new event has emerged to add to the SLQ and Grahame Galleries support of the art – the Artists Book Brisbane Event(ABBE). With the recent demise of the Mackay, Noosa and Southern Cross events their absence was felt by the artists book community. Added to this were exhibitions and artists book fairs coordinated by Grahame Galleries and other shows at scattered venues. Also contributing to this fertile artists book environment the State Library of Queensland’s Australian Library of Art which included the SLQ’s Siganto Foundation fellowships, ‘white glove’ presentations and events. Please see below for the studio roster of the work Kym will be creating.ABBE Logo For many years Queensland had a diversity of artists book activities: the bi-ennial Artspace Mackay Artists Book Forums and Libris Awards, the once yearly Noosa Artists Book Events and the Southern Cross University Acquisitive Artists Book Awards. So, come visit Kym to enjoy the artworks and walk through the beautiful gardens. Therefore, Kym will showcase artworks and projects inspired by butterflies, and a class of Year 8 Art students from Pacific Lutheran College will exhibit their butterfly designs with her.Īlso, while at the Centre, Kym will be part of the Open Studio Sunshine Coast Art Trail, 19 – 20 March, and she hopes this brings many visitors to see her creating digital art specifically for this event. This is an important scientific public activity. It is an exciting time to be visiting the gardens because the annual Butterfly and Moth Survey and associated events will be held there from 12 - 20 March.
