DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER;
IT MAY TAKE YOU ON ANOTHER JOURNEY.
Curated by Laura Campbell and Justin Jade Morgan.
Bringing together a diverse selection of artworks from The Arts House Trust, New Zealand’s largest privately held art collection, ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover; it may take you on another journey’ aims to lure the viewer beyond the cover of a book to reveal new pictorial narratives.
Drawing inspiration from the four book-based works: Earth Book 2 by Len Castle, Models, Methods and Assumptions by Paul Cullen, In Search for an Invisible Rose by Peter Madden and Art book and sound by Leon Van Den Eijkel.
Each of the selected artworks within this exhibition provides a new layer of interpretation and new spaces of discourse through the artistic realm of text, image and form.
Conceptual thought, possible decay of the written word and visual trickery may be at play here, but where will these new opportunities for interpretation and artistic engagement take you?
