Collected Collaborations. An exhibition initiated by the Artists' Book Research Group, featuring propositional projects from the Redrawing Collective (Ben Harper, Fiona Macdonald, Alex Martinis Roe, Thérèse Mastroiacovo and Spiros Panigirakis) and OSW (Terri Bird, Bianca Hester and Scott Mitchell). Guest Curator: Brad Haylock.

Monash University Museum of Art, Caulfield Campus, Melbourne. 4 August – 1 October 2011.

The Redrawing Collective focuses upon the artist's book as a collective site of production and reception. The group examines and remodels the record of its past dialogues, creating a two-part book that is both a performative object and a platform for critical engagement.

Writing

Most of my posts at the late, lamented Australian culture site Sarsaparilla have been preserved at the National Library of Australia's Pandora archive. The rest of the site is worth your time, too.
