Focus on Artists' Books II

Second Australian Artists' Books Forum
Friday 25 February 2005

The Second Australian Artists' Books Forum was a day long conference exploring the artform of the artists' book through presentations by leading artists, scholars, curators and academics. The Forum was the centrepiece of the FOCUS ON ARTISTS' BOOKS II program of Artspace Mackay throughout February 2005 to celebrate the second birthday of the new regional art gallery and museum. The program includes the Forum, masterclasses and exhibitions as well as the conference which was attended by over 130 people throughout Australia.

The exhibitions included the travelling exhibition "How I entered there i cannot truly say": Collaborative works from the Editions + Artist Books Studio at the Australian National University that was opened by Professor Sasha Grishin, Head, Art History at the Australian National University, Canberra.

This project was made possible by a Regional Quick Response Grant - an Australian Government initiative through the Regional Arts Fund, supporting the arts in regional and remote/isolated Australia.
