Performing the margins : an anthem of hope / Louise Tu'u. - 39 pages : illustrations ; 28 cm
Cover title. Limited edition of 100 books. Tu'u has penned notes to the reader on the shapes cut out of the die-cut covers. These were inserted back into the body of the book. Each copy has been added to by the artist, with drawings and strike-outs; and each book is a one-off.
"Performing the Margins: An Anthem of Hope, written by Louise Tu'u and designed by Amy Yalland at INDEX, discusses the performance, "An Anthem of Hope" that Tu'u made at the Physics Room in Christchurch, New Zealand in October 2013. Woven through the book are four Samoan concepts; fa'alavelave (trouble), fiapoto, fa'amatala or matala (to open/explain) and faitatala (to gossip). Performing the Margins mobilises these concepts as it explores misfires of An Anthem of Hope, Pacific bodies, personal ambition, and the artist's relation to the gallery management and board of trustees."--Physics Room website.
