[artbooks] Artspace Mackay exhibitions

Patrick Pound
Painting in a Library
McAleese Gallery
4 July - 7 September 2008

Painting in a Library surveys the role of the book in Pound's art over two 
decades. From paintings to collages and photographs, Pound's work looks as 
if it were made by someone who, on trying to explain the world and having 
failed, has been reduced to collecting it. This exhibition unpacks the 
notion of the library and the artwork as a copy of the world. 

Floor talk: 11am, Saturday 5 July 2008

Boundless
Artists' books from the Mackay Regional Council Collection
Cox Rayner Gallery
May - November 2008

Since Mackay City Library began purchasing Australian and international 
artists' books in 1995, Mackay Regional Council's collection has continued 
to grow, and is now considered to be one of Australia's most significant.

In addition to providing a snapshot of highlights from this collection of 
artists' books, the 60 works selected for display in Boundless exemplify 
the diversity and inventiveness of a growing number of artists exploring 
this artform, one that consistently confounds and defies simple 
definition.
