‘Micro-Pages’ Project Aims:
– Creating and encouraging the opportunity to discuss artists’ books and their display as well as comparing artists’ books to the idea of traditional books and their use and the issues surrounding this.

– Encouraging engagement of public library users, members of the public who are culturally aware but do not know the genre, other artists to encourage cross disciplinary understanding of book art, and art & design students with Artists’ Books as an interest to them.

– Promoting libraries and archives.

– Promoting the book form as an artistic genre.

– Promoting artists who use the book form in their practice.

– Supporting emerging artists alongside established artists.

– To promote the traditional archival side of document preservation by using microfilm in a non traditional way.

– Encouraging Archivists and Information Management professionals to think about the limits of digital preservation.

– Encouraging research into these areas of interest both within arts circles and library and archive communities.
