Résumé du livre
"Greeting cards, invitations, telegrams and other ephemera sent from family and friends to an Auckland housewife over 30 years have inspired Best Wishes Nora Gee. The show is a passage of an ongoing collaborative research project currently undertaken by Elam School of Fine Arts tutor Tracey Williams and masters student Taarati Taiaroa set to take place this week at projectspace B431 gallery. From the 1940s to the 1970s, housewife Mrs Nora Gee kept various commonplace printed material. Rediscovered in an antique shop in 2008 the entire collection is now housed in the Sir George Grey Special Collections as part of a large Ephemera Collection at the Auckland City Central Library. Best Wishes Nora Gee is the result of a collaborative experimental project aiming to archive local histories and the faculties of print, via a critical approach to the history of print ephemera in New Zealand and related discourses"--University of Auckland.
