More Information
The building of the Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz, 121 Wojska Polskiego Street, room 129 - the Paper Workshop, which for more than 20 years has been a place of experimentation and exploration of artistic expression in the widely understood medium of paper. Our workshop is based on tradition and knowledge of handmade paper techniques.
The education at the studio is based on an almost journeyman-like introduction of students to higher and higher circles of initiation, and the exercises are constructed in such a way as to imperceptibly enrich the workshop skills of young art students. In my opinion, this is the only way, because education should be based on understanding the potential of the medium, which in our case is paper.
Presented at the Museum of Papermaking, the exhibition is a combination of early program assumptions with an ever-growing curiosity about paper matter and its potential in signaling the problems of the modern world: ecology and raw material processing. The exhibition will feature a selection of works by undergraduate and graduate students and graduates, completed in recent years under the direction of Prof. Ewa Latkowska-Zychska and myself - Dr. Magdalena Soboń, Prof. of the university, curator and head of the Paper Studio.

More Information
Wounding is an unavoidable human experience, with individuals and communities bearing scars and lasting reminders of moments and aftermaths of wounding. Some wounds cannot be healed, only carried; and the path to healing can be arduous. But wounding, although painful, can be transformative. ‘Where the light enters…’ uses damaged and repaired paper materials to create visual narratives of wounding and healing. The exhibition explores the idea that wounds, cracks, and brokenness allow light to penetrate spaces that would otherwise remain hidden, invisible, and unaddressed. Wounds and scars reveal the face of humanity, the value in imperfection and stories contained in brokenness. The myth and journey of the wounded healer acknowledges that damage is not always preventable, but can contain the seeds of healing. While wounds can break us; confronting the challenges of deep wounding can reveal insights that help us heal, create meaning and find new ways of being.

What does it mean to be human? There are so many perspectives for judging, but one thing is clear: since the beginning of mortal time, Homo Sapiens have created art as a means of expressing what humanity, for better or for worse, is capable of.
Where Is the Human? is a national open juried exhibition inviting artists to consider the question of our humanity through the lens of our own time, as we evolve culturally, technologically, and spiritually.

More Information
For more than a decade, the IBPFA has been evolving into an important new forum for contemporary paper art. Founded and organized by Jan Fairbairn-Edwards with the Association Chaîne de Papier (originally in France) the Biennial is the result of a unique partnership with the National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Institute (NTCRI).
Building on the success of subsequent exhibitions, the NTCRI carries the event into the next phase with Fairbairn-Edwards' blessings: “The biennial was inspired by the strong traditions from different cultures all over the world and our goal has always been to bring together the traditional and modern by pushing the medium to the forefront of modern art practice.”

Karl Valentin already knew that. Just as much work as founding a company. That's why it's a matter close to the heart of the start-up center to support both artists and young entrepreneurs. Twice a year for four months at a time, young creative people can use the building at Europaring 4 as an exhibition space to present their paintings, graphics or photography.
On display this time: a solo exhibition of handmade paper made from mushrooms, which Tanja Major calls "Mykobütten", as well as fibers dyed with mushrooms and mushroom cyanotypes

Five years ago, Gallery Noord got a new logo. Since then, they have been working steadily on their identity and trying to bring a breath of fresh air to their exhibition space.
From December 23, 2023 through January 18, 2024, Gallery North will be a Festival of Recognition (or not). They invite 30 exhibitors who have participated in 1 or more exhibitions in the past 5 years. Visitors can still see the work of exhibitions they missed, reminisce about exhibitions they visited, or just be surprised by new work by a previous exhibitor. They also display all the flyers that Peter Boersma made since he became their designer in 2018. The walking list shows with each work when the artist exhibited.
