Open Books Online

During the 2021 Covid 19 restrictions, 14 visual artists from Wales, Malaysia, India and China worked in pairs, to produce digital artworks inspired by the Chinese folding book. 

The collaboration produced seven digital works, which will be on show at TheGoDown, accompanied by an exhibition of 50 concertina folding books made by artists from Wales, China, Australia, Canada, USA and India.

The lightweight, portable, folding book links artists from different cultures and traditions. ‘We are living in difficult times where COVID has caused separation but with a creative spirit we can find ways to share our knowledge as practicing artists and what better way than to collaborate with a Malay artist and orchestrate a digital response to our new connection.’ Sue Williams

OpenBooks is a Welsh initiative launched in Wales in 2012, developed in 2013 through a collaboration with China Academy of Art in Hangzhou. The new collaboration with The GoDown begins to discover the digital possibilities of Open Books.
