Illumination was an exhibition concerning the book that I curated in 2007 at Brunswickarts space.

The handmade, tactile and precious are often characteristics that are associated with artists books, but other publications such as zines fall into this category as well, juxtaposing the idea of the one off and precious. Artists books often take on a more sculptural like form when they are displayed, blurring the lines even more as to what form an artist book takes. In the extreme, an artist book can take the form of installation, flooding out into the gallery space. In this regard notions of what an artist book comprises are broadened.
