DISRUPTED, AND HOW

Recently landed: Disrupted, and how

We have recently received a few questions about our missing book beneath the dome from those curious as to where the work has gone. (In mid 2017, we installed our Looped series of artists’ books, of which Disrupted and rumpled was a part of, in the dais at State Library Victoria (SLV).)

Such a beautiful central location! We’d thought the greatest threat to our artists’ books, on loan in our Looped display, was light. Sadly, it turns out the greatest threat was a member of the public launching themselves at the heritage listed dais for a selfie, at an after-hours speed dating event in late April.

As the glass of the lid to the cabinet broke, so, too, did the artists’ book beneath it, an edition of the aptly titled, it transpires, Disrupted and rumpled. The shards of glass cut and scratched every section of the concertina and the base on which it rested. Damaged beyond repair, we have been shocked that such a thing could occur.
