There was once …a girl locked in a tower who took fate into her own hands; …a moth who found out what was on the other side of a flame; …a girl who wanted to paint, and did; …a girl who wanted to paint, but didn’t; …a moth who looked like a wasp ...

Appparently this is a great discussion which Bob Stein from the Institute for the Future of the Book had at the Queensland Writers Centre's Wordpool series of events.

What do you think?

Robert
I expect to post images of the Robert Jacks exhibition when I get the show professionally documented. But when I'm next in Bendigo I'll have a go at taking some dodgy snaps with my own camera. Do you expect to get up and see it? If on a weekend, let us know, as we may well be at Sutton Grange. Apparently it is getting a good response ...
I'm doing a floor talk on the 18th of November as part of the Gallery's regular program ... 10 for tea and 10:30 for talk ... Peter

The funny thing is that the more idiotic & eye-rollie & generally embarrassing you are the better the photography works out to be.
My boyfriend & I were mortified hearing people groaning & yelling out the "What do we want? BRAINS! When do we want them? BRAINS!" catch cry as well as dragging themselves along the pavement but by GOD they turned out to have amazing photos.
So, my advice: Do it. Make an idiot out of yourself for a day & have the photos to prove it.
If you are based in Melbourne, I'll see you at the next one!

Somebody tried to befriend me but I can't find out how to respond to their request (I can't find the request. I was sent an email telling me that someone wanted to be my friend & now I am lost because I deleted the email.)
What do I do? Any advice?

Robert. The tour dates will be posted on AB3 'events' closer to their openings. It's on in Bendigo until 29 November. Then in Warrnambool 26 Feb to 10 April 2010, Gippsland Gallery, Sale 15 May to 20 June 2010, then Mackay 16 July to 12 Sep. I'm still investigating other venues to follow Mackay ... and hopefully will also bring a version of the exhibition to Melbourne in either late 2010 or early 2011. In Bendigo the exhibition includes supporting works (paintings from 1970s) that will not tour ... so try to catch it there if you can. I'm looking to encourage a couple of reviews of the Bendigo showing if I can ... any likely reviewers you can suggest would be most welcome. I'm really keen to get a public response to both the content of the exhibition & the presentation. While relatively low tech, I think that the digital picture frames do give the viewer a better overall feel for the books than a single page opening. Catalogue? Peter

Thank you Peter! I couldn't find any suitably 'artistic' photos to put up so I just used my Melbourne Zombie Shuffle one.
It may look pretty special but on the day all I wanted to do was have a warm shower - that blood stays wet & adhesive ALL day long!

The Artist's Books of Robert Jacks is up and looking good. A good turn out to the opening, and it all went well on the night (no technical hitches). Do let me know when you might go up to see the show - perhaps we'll be in the neighbourhood. The catalogue is also out ... Peter

Hi Robert, Thanks for coming along to the opening of 'Keepsakes' on Thursday eve. It was a really successful opening. When you mentioned posters for your office I realised that I had not posted a call for entries for our 'Bill Posters Poster and Postcard exhibition' on Artist Book which I have just done. I'm trying to get people to respond with less conventional poster forms and formats including folding, binding and different presentations which will hopefully interest book makers as well as printer makers, photographers, illustrators - we'll see what we get. Just thought your office wall might be interested too!

Will do, I'll try to contact before I go and maybe set up a visit for Nov. Anxiety can be good...

haven't managed, though Christine agreed to come along. Have been so absurdly busy, and heading off on leave at end of next week. But I'd like to touch base with her, at least, and possibly line up a time for November when I'm back, and when things have mildly calmed down. Hey, heard about your recent purchase, congratulations.
