    By Hand and Eye: Dance in the Space of the Artist's Book

    By Hand and Eye: Dance in the Space of the Artist’s Book Judith May Walton School of Communication and the Arts, Faculty of Arts, Education, and Human Development, Victoria University Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (by performance / exhibition) (December, 2010) Abstract By Hand and Eye: Dance in the Space of the Artist’s Book is a practice-based research project that explores what potential there might be for dancing, or an expanded notion of dance, to be found and/or created in book form. For instance, how might a book dance, rehearse its contents? What relationships can be found or forged between the body and the artist’s book: the movement of the eye, the spacing of thought, temporality and duration, and the choreography of the page? These propositions have been explored and expanded through a tactile, experiential examination of selected artists’ books from the National Art Library (NAL) of the Victoria & Albert Museum, a translation/re-working of existing performances into book form, and the creation of unique artist-made books. The project seeks to embody and enact concepts and questions considered through the research; signalling, suggesting, amplifying, and marking, gestures and rehearsals for movement. This process has resulted in three outcomes: an exhibition of artist-made books with a performed opening, a recuperation of selected past performances remembered and re-made in book form, and a series of written discussion papers and accompanying video essays based on the artists’ book collection at the NAL at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

    "0" Preface Page and Introductory Page An introduction by Art Raff to the following typed transcription and accompanying audio tapes: I started this on 28 March 1996 with a completely unplanned narrative ofreminiscences about my days of working for the Marine Physical Laboratory. I told ofevents just as they happened to come to mind, and thus the sequence is in no way chronological. Betty Shor typed a transcript from this fIrst tape. When I read the transcript I was embarrassed by the unprofessional quality ofmy audio tape. I took the liberty quite some time later to severely edit the transcript and add more events ofinterest, but left it in its original nonchronological sequence. So now in July 1996 I am making an audio to accompany the edited and enlarged transcript by reading the transcript to an audio tape recorder. I have compiled an index to help an interested person years from now to locate some event. This index will accompany the final transcript and audio tape.
