ABOUT HISTORIA
At the heart of every culture and community, lies a story. Whether it’s the dreamtime Rainbow Serpent of Aboriginal Australia or the mythical Greek epic of The 12 Labours of Hercules, stories are a means by which people come together and collective identities and histories are forged.
This year, these myths and mythopeias are just a few of the many stories that are being revisited, reinterpreted and reimagined for the Queenscliffe Literary Festival (QLF) – but not how you might expect. 
To coincide with the festival, QG&W proudly presents this year’s annual print exchange: ‘Historia’. Historia will be an exhibition of 32 prints, created specifically in response to this year’s exchange theme. 
This will be the third year that QG&W holds an annual print exchange as part of the literary festival.

Artist books What makes an artist book? Artist books are an expressive medium, often in a great variety of forms these books take time to produce and for some, even longer to appreciate.   Some may find artists’ books hard to comprehend as a work of art, the artist book, after all, is at a disadvantage when compared to other art forms, for example a painting.  The artists’ book by its very nature usually has to be opened or even handled to be appreciated, other art forms may be displayed in their entirety, whereas the artist book contains many aspects that are neither easy to display nor value. Artist books are not a unique idea, the practice of incorporating images and text stems back to William Blake (1757 -1827) .     Many modern masters, such as Picasso, Leger and Kokoschka to name only a few, presented and participated in the making of artist books.  Artist books over the past century have become more than a collection of pages in sequence, ...

A Book for Christine Turner

-
Image
Christine Turner has been a breath of fresh air in the arts in Bundaberg Queensland.  For many years   she has worked in the area of painting, recycled assemblage, installations, computer art and animation, she has inspired so many young artists to take up art. Chris has been a focal point in the arts not just as an artist but  also as  a gallery manager, curator and community arts worker. With the establishment of Dirty Linen an independent gallery space, Christine provided a suitable venue for young and emerging artists and without restrictions she provide a platform, for artists, poets and musician.  Sadly Christine is moving to Brisbane so with the closure of Dirty Linen, Bundaberg has lost an alternative art space but hopefully Christine will continue her arts practice well into the future. The artist books featured, is a collaboration by Beryl Kitching, Sue Hutton and myself and was presented to Christine as a gift.

Ideas for first day France

France, my first week in Paris will be just as I imagine, romantic, breathtaking , timeless, ancient and modern. Summer, the French holiday season will be bursting with activities and I will be there to see, explore, experience and enjoy. First things first, arriving in mid July, the first day I will take in a river view of Paris; situated along the river Seine is every building of note in Paris. A boat trip will introduce the cultural and historical aspects of Paris and give me a chance to get over the long flight. Above all, it is the art and culture that has my attention, this viewpoint may differ with time spent in Paris. First Day, Visits to Musee du Louve (home of my friend Lisa) Musse d’ Orsay ( former grand railway station) Musee de I Orangerie ( 19th century painting) Musee Picasso Musee de Victor Hugo Musee d art Petit Palais ( Museum of fine Art) Grand Palais ( Science Museum) Notre Dame Pont Alexandre 11 ( Ornate Bridge) And lunch at the Eiffel tower.
