Cover to Cover
(1990)
Footage of the Cover to Cover Bookworks Exhibition by the Association of Women Artists at the Outreach Cultural Centre from October 1st to 12th 1990. Video made by Claudia Pond Eyley. The following text is from the foreword of the exhibition notes, written by Claudia Pond Eyley and Beth Serjeant - "This exhibition of bookworks, the second to be mounted by the Association of Women Artists, is an indication of the growing interest in New Zealand of this expanding field. As seems to be happening internationally the books themselves are constantly exploring new ways of communicating, sharing and storing ideas/concepts, meshing media too. This year we have an increasing number of book objects to tease, taunt and test those who are prepared to spend time to browse through the exhibits. A hands on policy is the best way to view books, we ask you to please wear the gloves provided and to treat each volume gently - after all "Books mirror people!" (Slivca)"
