Purple Rain

Sarah gave a joint paper for herself and Tom Sowden this morning, A Manifesto for the Book, and also stood in as Tom to deliver his Follow-Ed (after Hokusai) paper this afternoon. In a minute we are off to the opening of the exhibition The Silent Scream: Political and Social Comment in Books by Artists, curated by Monica Oppen and Peter Lyssiotis at Monash University Rare Books library on the Clayton Campus. The exhibition is on display there until November, and has a fantastic catalogue to accompany it. Although we are now caught in the middle of a huge storm, with torrential rain, thunder and multi-coloured lightning (which is rather nice).
