Artists’ Books in Australia and Brazil – Looking to the past to read into the future

A day of discussion considering aspects of artists' books in Australia and Brazil with further links to Australasia and South America. These discussions have been developed as part of a future research project to investigate links and histories that lead into current practice today. As a group, our related research areas include: artists’ books, print history, linguistics, letterpress printing, design, fine art, pulp-printing, digital and traditional printmaking processes, curating, teaching and publishing. We will be considering different aspects and overlaps between artists' practices and books.

Artists’ Books in Australia and Brazil – Looking to the past to read into the future has been made possible by a Research Collaboration Fund award from the University of the West of England.

Why read? Just seeing wouldn’t be enough?
