About the ProjectThe exhibition Transgressions and Boundaries of the Page forms part of a creative project and transdisciplinary investigation into the artist’s book as practice-based research. The project is titled Transgressions and Boundaries of the Page: a transdisciplinary exploration of a practice-based research project by means of the artist’s book. The project involves approximately 40 artists in creating artists’ books. Participants include established and upcoming artists who practice within the fields of visual arts (fine arts, graphic design, illustrators), creative writing (poets, novelists, children’s books authors), as well as related fields of architecture and language technology. The creative outputs are exhibited in group exhibitions at: Transgressions and Boundaries of the Page generated a great deal of interest from the public at Woordfees. In particular, visitors commented on the diversity of book types, individual approaches and media use. The crowning achievement was that both the Word Festival awards for Visual Arts went to artists of the Transgressions project. Richardt Strydom and Jaco Burger were honoured as best visual artists with their work Ad Hominem and Diane Victor was placed second. NWU - POTCHEFSTROOM CAMPUS |
