Robert Heather has invited you to the event 'Impact 7' on Artist Books 3.0!

Artist Books 3.0 Where artists' books and the book arts meet online...

Robert Heather   This year Impact 7 will be held in Melbourne, Australia and will include papers and presentations on artists books, printmaking and a huge range of other activities. Time: September 27, 2011 at 10am to September 30, 2011 at 6pm Location: Monash University, Melbourne, Australia Organized By: Monash University Event Description: IMPACT 7: Intersections & Counterpoints will focus on the multiple identity of the print, exploring the cross-disciplinary nature of printmedia internationally and in the context of the Asia-Pacific region. Printmedia will be explored as a heterogeneous, diverse and all pervading aspect of contemporary culture. Often located at the intersections of disciplines and media, it is also a powerful political vehicle, generating discourse and debate by virtue of its wide dissemination and ability to offer counterpoints to the norm. The conference addresses practitioners, writers, critics, artists, theorists, and others working in the broad fields of print-related research. It aims to provide a platform in which practitioners and researchers can engage in a mutually productive exchange. Media identified by the conference will include but not be limited to: Printmaking Photography Graphic Design Architecture Drawing The Artist’s Book Text Animation Film and Digital Media Jewellery and Metalsmith Glass, Ceramic and Textile IMPACT 7 will reflect on the activities of an international community of artists, writers and designers. The conference will bring indigenous, migrant, and regional voices to the fore, with a focus on cultural diversity, creative collaboration, the artists’ book, and communication in digital networks.
