She got 99 slides but the bitch ain't in one





In keeping with our decision to use book, song or film titles for blog headers, Sarah thanks Paul for the interesting title for the entry on her Books of All Stripes talk at State Library Victoria, which she thinks references the fact that she talked about other artists’ books rather than her own. We had a great afternoon beforehand, with Robert Heather and Des Cowley, having a tour of the library collection, including the Mirror of the World book exhibition, Ned Kelly’s armour and a peek behind the scenes with Des, who showed us some of the artists’ books purchased for their rare books collection.

Before Sarah’s talk, we got to hang out in the library’s green room, with food and drink, and after the talk we met with local artists and librarians for a drink, including David Dellafiora of Field Study and the lovely Gracia Haby and Louise Jennison amongst others. Thanks to all the SLV staff for hosting us and organising the visit and talk, and to everyone who came along to Sarah's talk.
