WOW! Putting this post together I realise how much I've done this week; Monday I printed the final colour on the CMYK dust jackets, the books arrived from printer on Thursday morning, printed 100 front pages on the Albion, 100 screen printed covers, got a saddle stitch lesson with Janet Parker-Smith up at SCA and collated and bound the first 7 books. This weekend the Sydney Urban Crew have all come together to fold, bind an package the edition. What a week!

Wendy Murray IT’S A WRAP, 2018
Propaganda: A selection of posters from the Australian War Memorial, displays many of the key posters designed to inflame public opinion and fashion public thinking during the war and, in some cases, generate a wave of recruits. The artworks have come from the Australian War Memorial collection - which has one of the world’s largest collections of historic propaganda posters.
The exhibition also includes commissions from three contemporary artists: Alison Alder, Wendy Murray and Jake Holmes, who responded to posters in the AWM the collection.
Propaganda is co-curated by Danny Lacy Senior Curator MPRG and Alex Torrens, Curator of Art, Australian War Memorial. Exclusively presented at MPRG, this project is timed to commemorate the centenary of the First World War 1914-1918.
