with Margaret Woodward and Justy Phillips (A Published Event) & artists Catherine Rose Evans, Ally Bisshop Kate Donovan
„Lost Rocks“ is an ambitious, slow-publishing artwork – a library of forty three books, by forty six artists over five years. A unique seam of mineralogical and metaphysical telling unfolds.
This collaborative artwork was inspired by finding a discarded geology specimen board in a tip shop in lutruwita/Tasmania. Publishing the absent geology of the rock board, „Lost Rocks“ (2017–21) is now complete, with its fictiōnellas held worldwide in individual and public collections.
Artists Catherine Rose Evans and Kate Donovan will be present live, and the editors Margaret Woodward and Justy Phillips and artist Ally Bisshop will zoom in from Australia. The five will talk about the book series, and Margaret and Justy will speak about their publishing practice. Admission is free!
