I just wanted to add to my previous post about the 'Without Boundaries' show in Sydney: I inferred that Imogen Yang curated the exhibition, when what I intended to say was that I was talking to Imogen, who is a curator!

I probably knew more people at the opening event than I know in Coffs Harbour, which says a lot about the artists' book community, I think. It is undoubtedly a… Continue
