Tales from the Cyclops Library expands the collection of two previous book arts exhibitions curated by Jo Cook, (self)Publish or Perish at Open Space, Victoria, BC and Cyclops Dreams at Access Artist Run Centre, Vancouver. For this exhibition at Third Space Gallery, in Saint John, New Brunswick, Cook has added books from Europe and Central Europe acquired during her residency in the Czech Republic. Artists from Saint John and the Maritimes have added their publications to the mix. The result is a vast array of comics, artists books, zines, chapbooks, pamphlets and manifestoes that is displayed in a specially designed reading room that encourages visitors to spend time browsing and reading. The exhibition is up until the 14th of April

Jo Cook is a visual artist, writer and curator. As Florentine Perro she is the founding editor of Perro Verlag Books by Artists, publishing original and independent voices of both established and emerging artists whose work combines, or crosses, or messes up traditional genres.
