Exploring the connections contemporary artists share with books and the emotional response they bring to our lives, ‘100book: A personal histories international artists’ book’ reconfigures and reignites viewer’s relationship with books.
Redland City Council’s cultural spokesperson Cr Lance Hewlett said the exhibition was particularly timely as we moved into an age where books were being overtaken by modern technology. The exhibition is curated by Robyn Foster and contains a section of works created by Australian artists to commemorate the centenary of Australia’s involvement in World War I.
