BOOKS.04 works of imagination

Maryke demonstrates the curatorial challenge of balancing the integrity or ‘sanctity’ of the artists’ book with the kaleidoscopic and diverse dynamics of a gallery’s exhibitions program through a case study of Books: works of imagination an annual artists’ book exhibition at Noosa Regional Gallery since 1997.

Maryke Stagg is Public Programs Officer at Noosa Regional Gallery. As an inaugural volunteer since 1983 she has seen the Gallery grow to the dynamic space it is today. Her extensive network and experience in tourism and small business was invaluable in developing the volunteer base and activating the public program. Maryke initiated and developed the artists’ book program at the Gallery. It has become a major national event and attracts national and international participation.
