There was a Point

Hungary

Event Dates

The exhibition is opened from April 08, 2026 until May 10, 2026.

Artist

Eszter Bornemisza Eszter Bornemisza

Opening Hours

Wednesday to Sunday 2 - 7 p.m.

Location

Fuga Gallery, 
Budapest, Petofi Sandor u. 5, Hungary

More Information

The installation takes its cue from a familiar situation in navigation: when we see the red dot on a map that indicates, “You are here.”
This marker functions not only as a physical reference point but also, in a figurative sense, as a mental and social one—yet at times it disappears or becomes hollow, falling apart.

As the viewer moves, the layers constantly rearrange themselves: the red dots appear and disappear.
Only approximations remain, imprints of memory that there once was a point.

About the Undercurrent

Netherlands

Event Dates

The exhibition is opened from April 05, 2026 until April 26, 2026.

Artist

Bas Linssen Bas Linssen

Opening Hours

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 12 p.m. - 5 p.m.

Location

Princenhaags Museum
Haagweg 334, 4813XE, Breda

 

More Information

Paintings made of paper and on cardboard.

Bas Linssen’s work explores memory and the longing for what once was. It is shaped by an ongoing dialogue with the natural world, as well as with found objects and materials that evoke a personal response. Paper serves almost always as the foundation of the work; its fragility and versatility closely align with the artist’s intent and sensibility.

Memories are distilled through drawings and paintings in which, much like a film, multiple fragments intertwine. The process involves drawing, scratching, removing, sanding, and working the fibers until each piece arrives at a form that holds the memory as fully as possible. What emerges resembles a relic—an object whose quiet beauty reaches back in time while simultaneously offering a sense of comfort.

More Information

“No sooner had the warm liquid, and the crumbs with it, touched my palate than a shudder ran through my whole body, and I stopped, intent upon the extraordinary changes that were taking place”.

(Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way, 1913)

It is often a single detail that triggers a revelation. In Marcel Proust’s famous madeleine scene, a simple gesture, such as biting into a cake after dipping it in tea, acts as a sensory amplifier capable of triggering
a whole universe of images and emotions.

Fragments unfolds in this liminal perceptual space, where what is ambiguous, discontinuous and partial continues to challenge our gaze and mind.

For the first time ever, SAC is opening its doors to the public with a two-person exhibition. Silvia Beltrami and Giuseppe Gallace, previous visitors to this space as part of previous group exhibitions, are now participating in a direct exchange, a visual dialogue in which their sensibilities interweave and reflect off of one another.

Within this dialogue, the fragment asserts itself as a form of possibility. The works of Beltrami and Gallace inhabit a hybrid territory where what’s real, though shattered, remains alive.

Paper Vibes 2.0

Netherlands

Event Dates

The exhibition is opened from March 01, 2026 until April 05, 2026.

Artist

Josefien Alkema Josefien Alkema , Jacqueline Kooter, Annecien Verhey

Opening Hours


Tuesday -Sunday 2 - 4 p.m.

Location

Boterhal
Kerkplein 39, 1621 CZ
Hoorn

More Information

Under the title ‘Paper Vibes 2.0’, three artists are exhibiting together in De Boterhal. What connects them is that all three work with or on paper. Their concepts and executions are different, but their idiosyncratic imagined worlds fit together wonderfully.

In her work, Josefien Alkema takes visitors on a walk through a landscape of her own creation, where attention is focused on organic structures and the dynamics of wind, water, and light. The basis for this is the graphic quality of drawing: ink, charcoal, or pencil on paper. By folding and modeling the paper, Alkema creates forms she calls “cosmic ornaments”: paper sculptures that are mysterious and abstract, but also tangible and earthy.
Jacqueline Kooter creates site-specific installations from torn and hand-painted paper. For her, the material paper and the act of tearing it represent the vulnerability and transience of humanity and nature at the hands of humans. The installations evoke a landscape experience that feels alienating.
Annechien Verhey draws on various sources: literature, art history, current events, and personal experiences. These different sources provide visual elements that she weaves together into a clear and spatial image that shows a world in fragments, open to different interpretations.

Location

Frani Šrámka 5

Czech Republic

More Information

To dream on a straw pillow, to cover oneself with a soft moss blanket… To lose oneself in the shadow of the forest, let the river carry you away, seek solitude in an empty shell, hide in a fragile bird’s nest… Nature–landscape can be a space for dreaming. It can be like a home — safe, primordial, a refuge we still seek subconsciously — but also an uncertain space open to the widest range of visions.

The exhibited objects work with handmade paper and natural materials from various corners of the world. They transform them into dreams, or rather, into fragile shells of dreams. They exist on the threshold—where the human touch meets the landscape and the ideas we form about it.

Friday from 5 p.m. 8 p.m.
Admission is free.

Location

Triton and Shell
Kolokotroni 16
17235 Dafni
Athens

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.

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.

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.

The event, titled "Anno Zero," blends tradition, origins, and development, a dialogue between past history and contemporary artistic analysis. 
Cappella Bonajuto is a remarkable example of Byzantine architecture located in Catania, Sicily. This ancient chapel, dating back to the 6th century, is one of the few remaining Byzantine structures in the city. It is renowned for its unique architectural features, including a small dome and intricate stonework. The chapel is situated beneath a modern building, offering a fascinating glimpse into the layers of history that characterize Catania. Visitors can explore the chapel's interior, which has been carefully preserved to maintain its historical integrity. Cappella Bonajuto serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Sicily and provides insight into the region's Byzantine past

The poet Christian Morgenstern is well-known and popular in typography circles. With his “Spiel- und Ernst-Zeug” (playful and serious stuff), the two societies “Verein für die Schwarze Kunst e.V.” and “Meister der Einbandkunst e.V.” have created a versatile work of book art to mark the 111th anniversary of the poet's death. Under the banner of collaborative cooperation, the book was handmade, hand-set, hand-printed, and hand-bound. The exhibition pays homage to Christian Morgenstern and celebrates the craftsmanship of papermaking, traditional hand typesetting and letterpress printing, and bookbinding. In addition to the magnificent book editions, prints, tools, lead typesetting forms, and printing blocks such as linocuts and an original wood engraving are on display.

“Materials of Light”

Painting, cyanotype, plant fibres, paper — throughout the year, these materials have been in conversation. From the whiteness of the solstice to the blossoming of spring, from the sun-soaked blue of summer to the vaporous density of autumn, each gesture has captured, held, and at times revealed a trace of light.

The exhibition brings these fragments together like an intimate memory of time: surfaces that preserve an imprint, fibres that hold shadows, earths that awaken colour. Here, technique is not an end but a language — one that speaks of transformation, transience, and persistence.

As the year draws to a close and the days grow shorter, these works extend the glow: they invite slowing down, contemplation, and shared moments.

More Information

In Legacies in Paper,  the Robert C. Williams Museum of Papermaking is proud to feature the work of three contemporary artists—Helen Hiebert, Nancy Cohen, and Sara Garden Armstrong—whose practices embody the spirit of innovation while reflecting on longstanding traditions. Each artist brings a unique voice to the medium: Hiebert’s luminous constructions explore the interplay of light and structure; Cohen’s sculptural works reflect ecological fragility and resilience; and Armstrong’s immersive environments blur the boundaries between the organic and the engineered. Together, their works speak to the transformative potential of paper—not only as a surface for expression but as a sculptural, spatial, and conceptual force. Through their hands, paper becomes a language of memory, a vessel of emotion, and a bridge between past and present.

"I am in my preferred place when I am in an unhurried, physical process of making. I constantly draw, I beat and pigment my paper pulp, I print my own prints—It is all part of the methodology of understanding something about my place in the complex and tantalizing world that I think about all the time. A vivid connection with the many different materials I use, as well as with the concepts that vie for space in my practice, root me in my work." Lynn Sures

Event Dates

The exhibition is opened from December 17, 2025 until January 11, 2026.

Artist

Josefien Alkema Josefien Alkema

Opening Hours

Wednesday to Sunday 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.

Location

Kunstlievend Genootschap Pictura
Sint Walburgstraat 1
9712 HX Groningen

More Information

Based on her impressions and experiences of being outdoors, Alkema composes her own unique landscape, with attention to organic structures and the dynamics of wind, water, and light. In this exhibition, you take a walk through that world. Wander through the silence and rhythm of nature in collages and sculptures, collected pieces of the cosmos and the earth.

In recent years, Josefien Alkema's work has developed from drawings, through collages, to spatial work. At its core is the graphic quality of drawing: ink, charcoal, or pencil on paper. The collages and sculptures are made from old drawings or large pieces of paper from a roll, which have been pre-treated with textures. By folding and modeling the paper, Alkema creates forms she calls “cosmic ornaments”: paper sculptures that are mysterious and abstract, but also tangible and earthy. They give shape to experiences for which there are no words.

Event Dates

The exhibition is opened from November 04, 2025 until January 04, 2026.

Artist

Anna Goebel

Opening Hours

Monday - Museum closed
Tuesday to Sunday 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.


Location

Kłodzka Street 42
57-340 Duszniki-Zdrój

More Information

The exhibition “Whispers” presents a selection of works by Anna Goebel – an artist who, since the 1990s, has demonstrated the immense creative potential of the natural world around us. Organic materials have found their way into the Duszniki Paper Mill, undergoing a metamorphosis under the artist’s attentive gaze as they are transformed into works of art.

Anna Goebel’s structural and spatial artworks, constructed from organic materials such as moss, leaves, and pine needles, harmonize visually with the historic drying room of the Duszniki Paper Mill. Just as paper was once produced here from old rags, her works are also created from organic waste — discarded by both nature and humans. Today, they extend the meaning of this historic space, evoking associations with the forest and wood — both an artistic medium and the building material of the Duszniki Paper Mill.

Location

Wally Workman Gallery
1202 West 6th St
Austin, Texas  78703





More Information

This exhibition explores transitions—the space between contrasts. Priscilla Robinson is drawn to the void between front and back, up and down, dark and light. These spaces are charged with potential and ambiguity. The focus brings her to the spaces between boundaries—the voids, the space holes, the breath between forms. Priscilla works with small paper units—feathers, cones, spheres, rolled spirals—grouping and layering them to build larger wholes. Each unit is complete in itself, but together they reveal the harmony of the part and of the whole.

In contrast to traditional painting, where brushstrokes build toward composition, the artist begins with a mass of three-dimensional brushstrokes—handmade paper units—and uses them to discover movement, color, and rhythm.

In this solo exhibition, there will be 14 pieces in the exhibition in 2 rooms of the gallery.

More Information

In this digital age of mass mailings and instant email exchanges, we are proposing an exhibition dedicated to the postcard and to mail art. Objects of memory, communication, and creation, postcards have long served as a medium for many avant-garde artists.

The exhibition will present a wide range of artists’ postcards, reflecting the diversity of approaches and eras. In addition, an open call will be launched : during a set period, all artists who wish to participate will be able to send us one or several postcards. These will be exhibited without selection or jury, in a spirit of openness and inclusion.

Mail art, especially during certain periods of political repression, offered a free and inventive alternative to censorship. The envelope or postcard thus became a medium of expression — sometimes subversive, often poetic.

As Maïten Bouisset puts it : Is mail art an art for initiates or an initiated art ? After the pioneers of the 1960s and 1970s, a new generation of artists has continued this practice, making use of the many possibilities offered by printing techniques.

The postcard, like mail art, allows contemporary art to be approached in a more accessible way. It connects artistic practices to a universal experience — that of sending or receiving a postcard. This popular approach opens a doorway into art that is at once intimate, collective, and spontaneous.

Collective Grief - In Memoriam

United States

Event Dates

The exhibition is opened from October 25, 2025 until December 03, 2025.

Artist

Lori Goodman Lori Goodman , Teddy Milder Teddy Milder

Opening Hours

Opening Public Reception: Saturday, October 25, 2025, 4 – 6 p.m.
Gallery hours: Thursday – Sunday, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Location

1 Commandant’s Lane
Benicia, CA 94510 USA

More Information

In 2023, Lori Goodman and Teddy Milder traveled to Germany and Poland, returning just when the Israeli kidnappings and subsequent horrific Gaza war began. They reflected on the mass killings of the holocaust; genocide, war and devastation in Gaza; and atrocities that are now occurring and have been throughout history, including the current threats on democracy. They were simultaneously inspired to make work to mark collective grief. The collaboration began to hold and process their personal and shared grief — a means of witnessing loss and channeling sorrow into material form.

Teddy and Lori created over 100 black sculptures of handmade, pigmented and dyed abaca and kozo paper. After completing the dark pieces, we wanted to leave the work with a gesture toward healing and hope. We created additional sculptures, this time pigmented with a saffron hue—an offering of light.


It is their hope that the installation reflects finding beauty in the struggle to nurture hope, while remembering and honoring the devastation, loss of life, and culture due to senseless violence, atrocity and war. They hold all who suffered and died in memoriam.
