Comment by Michael Wardell on April 28, 2010 at 17:33

Dear Members (particularly Australian members)
I am trying to get some feedback about Artspace Mackay's Focus on Artists Books Forum, particularly from those of you who did not attend the Forum this year. The numbers dropped this year from previous years and I am trying to find out if there was any single major reason for this. Following feedback after the 2008 Forum, we changed the date from the more cyclone/flooding prone February date to early April. Was this too close to Easter? Was it an advantage or a disadvantage to schedule it during the holidays? What time of year would be most suitable?
Or perhaps it was the lineup of speakers - Do you feel that the Forum is too high-brow or too low-brow? Have we deviated too far from the more the more popular print-based artists books? Should we have more artists talking about their work and less historical analysis? Is it too expensive?
Any suggestions or feedback would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Michael (Wardell)
Director, Artspace Mackay
