View of Exhibition
The Paper Sculpture Show invites artists and audiences to explore the realm between two- and three-dimensional art in a new and inventive way. Twenty-nine artists were asked to design a paper sculpture to be cut out and assembled using very basic materials. Each project is displayed as preprinted paper page stacks within an exhibit design by artist Allan Wexler. Visitors are encouraged to "complete the artworks" by cutting out and assembling the sculptures of their choice. The visitors’ creations will remain in the gallery after they leave, resulting in an exhibition that will grow and change throughout its duration. Subsequent visitors will have the opportunity to see multiple versions of the same piece, each made unique by the hand of its fabricator.
The Paper Sculpture Show includes artists Janine Antoni, The Art Guys, David Brody, Luca Buvoli, Francis Cape and Liza Phillips, Minerva Cuevas, Seong Chun, E.V. Day, Nicole Eisenman, Spencer Finch, Charles Goldman, Rachel Harrison, Stephen Hendee, Patrick Killoran, Glenn Ligon, Cildo Meireles, Helen Mirra, Aric Obrosey, Ester Partegàs, Paul Ramirez Jonas, Akiko Sakaizumi, David Shrigley, Eve Sussman, Sarah Sze, Fred Tomaselli, Pablo Vargas Lugo, Chris Ware, Olav Westphalen, and Allan Wexler.
The Paper Sculpture Show is organized by Cabinet magazine, Independent Curators International (ICI), and SculptureCenter. It is curated by Mary Ceruti, Matt Freedman, and Sina Najafi, and accompanied by The Paper Sculpture Book, which contains the entire exhibition in unassembled, take-home form. The traveling exhibition is organized and circulated by Independent Curators International. The exhibition and its accompanying publication are made possible, in part, by support from the Peter Norton Family Foundation.
