Recycled library: Altered books

Recycled library is an exhibition of works by Australian artists that incorporate existing/found books as a major conceptual and creative element. The exhibition investigates the symbolism of 'the book' in an era in which the printed page is in danger of being superseded by digital technology. Many of the artists in this exhibition have used second-hand books as a way of questioning the authority of the printed text, particularly as historical records of fact.
