26 Sep – 15 Nov

For centuries our shared understanding of humanity was shaped by books. Handed down, leather bound, paper backed and dog eared. Today, rapid digitalisation means hundreds of millions of books are discarded annually in Australia alone. Unbound asks what happens when the dominant medium for connecting us with our past is untethered.

Using discarded books, found locally, the exhibition comprises a series of impressive sculptural installations. Exploring questions of mass consumption and its environmental implications, it celebrates the beauty and diversity of the ideas, images and colours that culturally formed us as we attempt to come to terms with our collective and personal pasts.

Moving into an increasingly uncertain future Unbound asks what do we hold and what do we release?
