Despite my good intentions I am already a week behind...My excuse is that I have been involved in a couple of events over the last week. First was a talk on photobooks from the WSA Library's collections at John Hansard Central as part of their
E-book show. This was a great show and I really enjoyed being part of this and meeting so many interesting people.
Second, I have been helping set up the
Books by Artists exhibition, which I'm co-curating with Linda Newington, at the
Winchester Discovery Centre with colleagues from Special Collections. Jane Birkin had prepared twelve wonderful large scale photographs of some of the artists' books to go around the atrium space at Winchester Discovery Centre. Before these went up, we had the painful and backbreaking job of peeling the adhesive panels from a previous exhibition off - harder than it sounds, as witness the painful wounds to the fingers. However, no pain no gain (thanks for reminding me of this saying Jessica!), and the results look fabulous.
Meanwhile, in the City Space, the display cabinets were moved into their positions and all the books have been carefully placed within them by Anne-Marrie Steel and Jessica Crann.The exhibition opens on World Book Day, 7 March 2013 and runs until 14 April 2013.
