Takapuna LibraryIt's been great fun collaborating with interdisciplinary French artist Béatrice Carlson on this "Where We Meet" project, instigated by author and librarian Pippa Mothersole to highlight the unique mission of The Takapuna Library's Angela Morton Room in the larger Auckland library system.
Devoted to preserving and archiving Aotearoa / NZ Art History materials, the room contains:
a reference collection of publications which relate to the visual art and artists of New Zealand. Originally when the aims of the bequest to the library were under discussion, it was remarked that an on-going collection of books could be called a living memorial – a specialist art collection for the future, for students and scholars. It is a collection dedicated to the memory of the late Angela Morton who was a North Shore resident devoted to New Zealand art. The nucleus of the collection was funded with a family bequest in 1985.It includes small-press publications, artist's books, exhibition catalogues, zines, DVDs, and a wide range of ephemera related to the arts in New Zealand. It's an honour to be a part of this rich and ongoing history.
