Eight: The Shift toured regional venues in 2020/2021

A biennial series of exhibitions of artists’ books organised by Gallery East in Western Australia. Despite the social upheaval, disruption of everyday lives, not least in art schools, and a sclerotic postal service, caused by the pandemic, the high level of representation by leading international and Australian artists working in this field experienced over the last decade was sustained for the 2021 exhibition.
