NEW CHAPTER
Reclaiming old booksAn exhibition by Elna Venter, Marna de Wet and Jean LampenThis digital version of an exhibition of artworks was prompted by the constraints imposed on all of us by the Covid-19 pandemic that have irrevocably changed the way in which we function as human beings. Instead, then, of hosting a gallery-based show of artworks, the three women artists who participated in this exhibition compiled a selection of works, together with brief artists’ statements, for perusal on the web. Ironically, perhaps, the exhibition statement notes that physical books – much more so than digital material – trigger visual and tactile memories. Books, then, are described as symbols of knowledge, joy and experience. It is therefore an interesting exercise in making do in a time marked by restriction on movement, touch and gallery visits: bringing commentary on the actual book as precious artefact into a digital exhibition.
