Join Mary-Jane to explore the phenomenon of the Photobook. This exhibition lifts the lid on the photobook phenomenon. See examples of books that the publishing industry would once have termed illustrated books but which we can now understand as works of personal expression, as photobooks (even though the term didn’t exist when they were made), including John Pascoe’s 1950 classic, The Mountains, the Bush & the Sea and Les Cleveland’s 1966 photo/text essay, The Silent Land.
The group of twenty-one books will be under glass and shown either as covers or opened page spreads. The other half of the exhibition will contain up to ten contemporary photobooks you can handle, enabling browsing of the sort of recent productions you won’t find in bookstores.
A stunning tour that Mary-Jane has put together for us. Expect to be delighted, fascinated, intrigued and informed, all with input from art professional passionate and extremely knowledgeable Mary-Jane.
We can enjoy a coffee and chat at a Te Papa Cafe.
