More Information
The exhibition “Handmade Paper from Asia to Europe” invites visitors to explore the remarkable journey of paper — from its invention in 1st-century China, through its spread to the Islamic world, to the establishment of the first European papermaking workshops in the 13th century, and finally to the early industrial age of the 20th century.
Featuring 50 carefully selected objects from the archive of Triton & Shell – Paper Art Hub, the exhibition highlights the technical diversity, cultural resonance, and artistic beauty of handmade paper across continents and centuries.
Among the exhibition’s highlights are:
- The book Kamisuki Mura Kurotani (1970), awarded “The Most Beautiful Book in the World” at the 1972 Frankfurt International Book Fair,
- A selection of papermaking moulds from Asia, Europe, and America, illustrating the evolution of tools and techniques,
- Prints from the 18th to the 20th century documenting the stages of traditional papermaking.
Through these objects, the exhibition brings to life a time when every sheet of paper was made by hand and carried the full weight of human expression — long before paper became a disposable commodity.
Exhibition texts are presented in Greek, with a full English-language guide available to ensure accessibility for international guests.
Hosted at Triton & Shell – Paper Art Hub in Dafni, Athens, this exhibition is part of a broader mission to celebrate and preserve the global heritage of handmade paper. The space functions as a multifaceted center comprising a permanent archive, a rotating exhibition program, and a fully equipped papermaking and book arts workshop, offering visitors a unique experience at the intersection of history, craft, and artistic creation.

The 13th Biennale will bring together diverse voices and practices
rooted in fiber-based language. It seeks to create a convergent site for cross-cultural, multi-material, and intermedia expression. At the same time, the exhibition will foreground critical dialogues on the relationship between fiber art and ecology, technology, and culture, offering a sharp perspective on the global trajectories and emerging discourses of contemporary fiber practice.
This edition of the Biennale unfolds the theme “Interwoven Horizons” through four curatorial sections: Ecological Fiber, Lines of Perception, Reweaving with Intelligence, and Future Laboratories, each exploring a distinct dimension of contemporary expression in fiber art.

In No Where, Now Here, Marjorie Fedyszyn navigates a profound journey of healing, transforming past trauma into present joy and new artistic expression. For over a decade, her installations processed deep-seated pain and grief from childhood—this exhibition marks a new beginning: the artist’s embrace of her significant shift toward self-discovery and release. Handmade paper and textile abstractions glow with fluorescent color, reflecting the lightness and hope she has recently discovered in her life.

Ina Fekken brings the installation: Beware of Collapse!
The work is an interaction between a historical setting and her laser-engraved boxes featuring natural motifs. Flora, fauna, and soil are depicted. The underlying current theme is the ongoing collapse of biodiversity.
The installation was previously on display in other formats, including at the MOW Museum (2023), Kunst aan de Vaart (2024), and during Kunst aan Huis (2025). The meaning and form of the installation changes in response to the existing interior.

More Information
Soloexhibition: Since 2016, Tanja Major has devoted herself to the fascinating world of fungi. Her Mykobütten are made 100% from mushrooms, crafted without wood or cutting down forests. From polypores, trametes, and gill fungi, she creates papers embodying color, texture, and transformation.
The artist combines mycological knowledge with traditional papermaking (including the Japanese Washi technique) and develops her own methods using mushroom pigments and fibers. What otherwise lives hidden—the mycelium—becomes visible through her work: as an organic network, as an artistic medium, as a symbol of life and impermanence. Major’s works express a symbiotic cooperation with nature and invite viewers to reconsider our place in the ecological system.

Special highlight: During the exhibition, a film by Stephen Axford and Catherine Marciniak, Planet Fungi, will be shown.
