The long anticipated exhibition catalogue for the Freedom Project has finally been printed and is ready to ship! The book is part of the UWA Studies in Virtual Arts e-journal, and the electronic version can be seen online now. As part of this publication series, it will be archived at the UWA library as well as the National Library of Australia (ISSN 2200-7865 (Print), ISSN 2200-7873 (Online)).
Each artist or group participating in the project can receive one copy of the printed book for free. Artists wishing to claim a free copy should contact JayJay Zifanwe with a shipping address for the book.
Others wishing a print copy can purchase one for L$5000 each, shipped anywhere in the world. Contact JayJay Zifanwe for ordering.
The Freedom Project has been a profoundly moving and inspirational exhibition. It has gotten tremendous recognition in real life and promises to get a final boost with the publication of the journal. The works can still be viewed in the UWA gallery for the next couple of weeks, but will then be removed to make room for the Transcending Borders show already in progress. I strongly encourage everyone to see the show at UWA before it's gone. Pictures in a book are a great memento, but they can't compare to the "real" thing.
Without Whom...
