More Information
'Paper Parcel Chair' and 'Paper Parcel Table' were acquired by CODA Museum in Apeldoorn and are now exhibited for one year in their standaard collection presentation in their space 'De Verdieping'.
About the Work: ‘Paper Parcel Chair’ and ‘Paper Parcel Table’ are the first two pieces in the series ‘Paper Parcels from the Past’, made by Emma Sebregts. The collection continues to grow. Every piece represents an object or piece of architecture from the homes in Sebregts’s past. The furniture and walls are things that she has carried with her and exchanged with others in the multiple homelands she has had. The temporality of her stay made her aware that homes and furniture are shared objects in the long term. Collecting the stories of the inhabitants they go through. The table and chair casts where taken from discarded furniture that Sebregts dragged in from the streets to furnish her house in her student times. A favorite way for Sebregts to furnish her house in those days was by reupholstering found furniture, changing the skin but keeping the bones. The skin shed by the furniture correlates with the empty skin displayed by the paper casts.

Art| Landscape | Westerwolde
Artists have been inviting people for centuries to see our country through their eyes, in beauty, wonder and sometimes confusion. The MOW | Museum Westerwolde has been collecting works of art with a connection to its own region for half a century, from realistic to abstract and from old to new. Older works show us a world that we sometimes barely recognize, with agricultural workers in the fields, dirt roads and horse and cart. Newer works play with the structures and colors of the land or with special properties such as the wind that gains strength over the vast land. Recently, concerns about a rapidly changing environment have been creeping into work.
Historical and contemporary art
In this exhibition, the museum combines (some of it historical) pieces from its own collection and those of others with works by contemporary artists. More than 160 (!) artists responded to a call for contemporary artists to be inspired by the Westerwold countryside. The works (all 40 x 40 cm) will show a continuous mosaic on the walls of the museum.

Together we encourage sustainable change. The various action locations in Berlin can be seen on the interactive city map. In addition, you can share suggestions or content yourself in our city laboratory forum and submit your future-oriented ideas.
Tanja Major's handmade mushroom paper works, also known as 'Mykobütten', represent an innovative way of papermaking as they are made almost entirely from mushrooms and can therefore be considered compostable or sustainable art that can be returned to nature.
The creation of handmade artworks from mushrooms and plant pulp, which not only represent paper but also act as carriers of our stories and visions, is the result of a complex process based on scientific principles and creative application. These works are a tribute to the beauty of nature, the art of craftsmanship and the immeasurable creativity of the human spirit.

More Information
As part of the Main-Kinzig Fulda 2024 cultural summer, the Kleinsassen art station is presenting masterpieces made of paper in its exhibition halls: cut, folded and moulded.
What this material can withstand and achieve in terms of design never ceases to amaze. For a long time - until the end of the 19th century - paper served mainly as a carrier of information and was used for drawing, watercolouring and printing. Silhouettes and folding techniques had a long tradition in China and Japan and became increasingly popular in Europe. It was only later, and especially since the 1960s, that artists discovered paper as an independent artistic medium for their work.
Paper is a very pliable material that can be reached almost anywhere: flexible, light and sometimes surprisingly stable, voluminous through crumpling, creasing, folding and "moulding". There are many variations in thickness and surface texture, depending on the fibres used and the manufacturing process. Paper can be embossed and even sculpted. Works of art with incredibly narrow webs are created - torn or cut, with realistic depictions or in a reduced, conceptual design language. Artful folding and creasing create reliefs, and life-size figures can be formed from delicate Japanese papers. Some artists use new paper, others "recycle" used or printed paper. A particular attraction for some artists is that they produce their own paper and can experiment in detail, from preparing the fibre pulp to drawing and designing. Paper can be made transparent, relief-like or even fully sculptural, coloured with individual pigments and penetrated in a painterly way in pulp painting.

More Information
Karen Olson presents a selection of her series "Language of the Heart" at the group show "In the Making" at the Maine Museum of Photographic Arts in Portland, Maine.
In the Making is a provocative exhibition that illustrates where the photographic medium is today. There are sculptures, camera-less works, multimedia constructions, collaborative pieces and an installation. Our hope is that viewers will delight in the craftsmanship, the use of line/drawing throughout, and the variety of alternative processes. The themes will be familiar: family, conservation, art for art’s sake and the intuitive exploration of photography. To say this is an exciting exhibit would be to understate our enthusiasm about it. Come and bring people with you who want to delve into and learn more about contemporary artists and works.

Location
Gallery Curva Pura
Via Giuseppe Acerbi, 1
00154 Roma RM
More Information
The exhibition includes a selection of the artist's latest works, designed for a site-specific intervention at Curva Pura.
The concepts of evolution and transformation are the basis of her research, both on a conceptual and formal level. The ongoing study and documentation of processes linked to the transformation of matter - plant fibres and naturally derived colours - are the main focus of creativity; this practice leads the artist to confront the unpredictability of outcomes and to reflect on the relativity of time and space in which matter is transforming.
In this exhibition, the many works are like so many variations of the same subject; they cohabit, interweaving an enthralling and secret plot in space. Working with simple materials, paper, canvas and colours that she obtains from plants or other natural elements, the artist also recovers a technical - but never rigid - dimension of art making that gives her work a total cosmic harmony. Technical research proceeds by the degrees of the logical-intellectual process, and Virginia proceeds together on the formal and aesthetic levels. The research into materials that she has been carrying out for years has led her to experiment with paper and its transformations (which, despite her explorations of other materials, remains her favourite medium) and colour of natural derivation, both characterised by fragility and ephemeral immanence in space and time."

More Information
In the summer of 2024, The Paper Academy, Denmark, welcomes you to the exhibition Eternal Paper, where 20 international artists, mainly from the USA, present artworks made with paper. The exhibition is curated by Helen Frerick, American artist, curator and founder of the art institution Pyramid Atlantic, 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 in a slightly different form.
Artists who have worked for many years with handmade paper, nature's fibers and water, to express themselves through art, have harboured experience and expertise within themselves and understand that they, as temporary containers of this knowledge, have a responsibility to provide this on to future generations. Implicit in their work is something larger: a historical organism of research, travel, collaboration and exchange that preserves paper forever.
A catalogue has been published in connection with the exhibition.
