This summer, The Paper Academy (Denmark) welcomes you to the exhibition ETERNAL PAPER, where 20 international artists, mainly based in the USA, will present artworks painted with floating fibre, also known as pulp.
The exhibition is curated by Helen Frederick, American artist, curator and founder of the art institution Pyramid Atlantic Art Center in Maryland, USA.
Eternal Paper was exhibited at the University of Maryland Global Campus, USA, from October 2023 to May 2024 and can now be experienced in the Paper Academy’s gallery in Gilleleje.
The exhibiting artists have worked for many years with handmade paper, nature's fibers, and water in their artistic practices. they harbour experiences and expertise within, and understand that, as temporary vessels of this knowledge, they have a responsibility to pass it on to future generations. Implicit in their work is something larger: a living archive of research, travel, collaboration, and exchange that preserves paper eternally.
The exhibiting artists are:
Maria Barbosa, Elsabé Johnson Dixon, Nicole Donnelly, Cheryl Edwards, Susan Firestone, Helen C. Frederick, Claudia “Aziza” Gibson-Hunter, Alexis Granwell, Ellen Hill, Ken Polinskie, Tongji Philip Qian, Randi Reiss-McCormack, Tara Sabharwal, Soledad Salamé, Preston Sampson, Gretchen Schermerhorn, Joyce J. Scott, Buzz Spector, Mary Ting, Anne Vilsbøll.
