RESEARCH: 1995 – Present The Artist’s Book in South Africa My decision to research the book as an artwork was made when I viewed Selected Poems 1961 – 1991. This book was a collaborative effort between the poet Patrick Cullinan; the artist Judith Mason, who

produced the illuminations and illustrations; Mark Attwood, who hand printed the book; Bruce Attwood, who made the wooden cover boards and Johan Maree who bound the book. After having been introduced to Jack Ginsberg and his extraordinary collection of artists’ books I was invited by Steven Sack, then of the Johannesburg Art Gallery, to curate the only exhibition of Artists’ Books ever held in South Africa. A significant portion of Jack’s collection formed the basis of the exhibition to which I added a number of local works which I was uncovering and researching at the time. Artists’ Books in the Ginsberg Collection became one of the largest exhibitions of its kind in the world when it opened in 1996.

My research is contained on the website www.theartistsbook.org.za that won the NIHSS award in the category, Digital Humanities in 2018. It consists of textual research on the recent history of South African

artists’ books and book arts practice; interactive digital catalogues of major exhibitions of South African artists’ books; a searchable database of all South African artists’ books thus far researched; links to related sites of interest as well as news and featured works. This site was launched to coincide with the opening of the exhibition Navigating the Bookscape: Artists’ Books and the Digital Interface at the 2006 Aardklop Arts Festival. The site is, at present, being integrated into the Jack Ginsberg Centre for Book Arts (JGCBA, Wits Art Museums, Johannesburg) where it will include an extensive database of all international artists’ books in the collection as well as the Archive of books on the subject of the Book Arts.

My latest curatorial project is Samplings, a pair of exhibitions which launched the JGCBA in March 2019. Before this was the Booknesses Project consisting of 3 exhibitions, associated catalogues and

walk-about / education sessions; an international colloquium on the book arts, associated workshops and demonstrations and a public conversation between Jack Ginsberg and William Kentridge. For the project archive, see: http://www.theartistsbook.org.za/view.asp?pg=booknesses

In October 2019, I passed my Viva for a PhD by Existing Published or Creative Work Viva, on the subject of South African Artists’ Books and my role in the field, at the University of Sunderland, UK. My

thesis was accepted without any corrections, alterations or additions. In 2020, I published my latest article, The Bookness of a Book: Cataloguing South African Artists’ Books, in Strange Circulations: Affect in the Library, a Special Edition of Library Trends, Johns Hopkins University Press.
