"Tactile Verse"
Sunday May 7th, 1 - 1.45pm
When Toni Mosley and I set up @outofthecupboardnz in 2020, our intention was to get the many glorious artists' books out of cupboards, from under the beds, the backs of wardrobes and the bottom of drawers, and out into the light where they can be seen and appreciated by everyone.
I'll be joining writer, researcher and librarian Leanne Radojkovich and printmaker Toni Mosley to present some of the rare and unique artists’ books and prints that can be found in the Angela Morton Room at Takapuna Library.
What is the Angela Morton Room?
What are the amazing art resources you can find there?
What are artists' books?
What has printmaking got to do with artist's books?
How can printmaking be expanded to 3 dimensions and become a tactile immersive experience?
Come and discover what print treasures can be found in the Angela Morton Room at Takapuna Library and how you can access these and other inspirational material.

| Judith Haswell's tools |
See Beth Serjeant’s The Visionary, a pukapuka whose
lithographs, printed from stones by Joan Taylor, won the 1989 BNZ Art Award;
and PINE, a book of Bill Manhire’s poems and Ralph Hotere’s artworks which
combines printing with wooden type, and hand-painted texts; and Judith
Haswell’s POTSHERDS AND GERANIUMS, whose text was cut into erasers with tools
made from razor blade slithers jammed into broken wooden chopsticks.
This is a unique opportunity to view twelve special hand
printed books that demonstrate some of the ways makers have found to produce
innovative, tactile, immersive books that are also works of art.
PCANZ Bestiary Book, North edition,
will also be on display.
I plan to be roaming around for the whole weekend, taking in the talks and demos and generally just hanging out.
Hope to see you there!
