2020 Mabo Library Art Exhibition
In 2020, James Cook University Library
& Information Services will be hosting an Artist Residency
Program - Drawn to the Mabo Library - which will
take place in the Eddie Koiki Mabo Library, including Special Collections and
the surrounding grounds of the Townsville Campus.
The intention of this program is to
open the Library for artists to interpret and respond visually and creatively to:
- the Library’s buildings and
public spaces,
- relevant items in the
Special Collections, and
- the program theme: People,
Place, Knowledge, Legacy.
Applicants will be asked to describe
how their line of enquiry will relate to the four thematic elements and should
remain mindful of these themes throughout the development of their work during
the residency.
The residency program will:
- take place between February
and June 2020 (dates, days and times to be negotiated)
- culminate in an exhibition
of original art works by the selected artist (21 May 2020 – 19 June 2020).
