More Information
"ReBloom" is the first biennial of the world's leading organization for papermakers and paper artists, the International Association of Hand Papermakers and Paper Artists (IAPMA). The exhibition will showcase 100 works of Paper Art by artists from 40 countries around the world between April 21 and August 11, 2024. The exhibition will take place on the premises of Hagen Castle in Bremischen, Germany.
In everyday life, paper is mostly used as an information carrier or packaging material. However, it is also amazingly flexible and versatile as an artistic medium in its own right. It is in the nature of paper that it can be reused and recycled, thus embodying a permanent life and offering countless possibilities for reuse and changeability. The exhibition theme "ReBloom", developed by IAPMA Exhibition Coordinator and Curator Ângela Barbour, revolves around paper's inherent potential to bring to life the memories and experiences it has absorbed. The IAPMA Biennial "ReBloom" will feature artworks that illustrate this and tell stories of renewed life, an awakening that can be experienced with paper and the fibres of which it is mostly made.
Jury: Ângela Barbour; Karen Olson, Ziya Tarapore

More Information
Opening Ceremony on September 14, 2023 in the presence of Betty Amongi, Uganda’s Minister of Gender, Labour and Social Development, accompanied by Dr. Matthias Rößler, President of Parliament, Free State of Saxony.
On the occasion of the 27th Congress of the International Association of Hand Papermakers and Paper Artists (IAPMA) which is being held this year with Fides Linien as organizer in Dresden in the Dresden University of Fine Arts, the Kunstgwerbemuseum / Design Campus of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (Dresden State Art Collections) is hosting a special Paper Art exhibition in the Riverside Palace of Pillnitz Palace in collaboration with IAPMA.
Artists bring paper to new life through a versatile approach with paper. In addition to its traditional use, paper carries and preserves stories or thoughts of individuals, societies or cultures. On display are artworks by 86 contemporary artists from 30 countries from all over the world, making it possible to experience paper as a living, responsive, artistic medium - as an independent art form - “Paper Art”. As an artistic medium, paper defies expectations and transforms itself into complex two- or three-dimensional entities, artists' books, jewelry, textiles and fashion or installations, indeed into environment and performance - an experience for all the senses.
Exhibition Jury:
Fides Linien, Ângela Barbour, Eva Maria Juras, Nicole Donnelly, Thomas A. Geisler, Nora Grunwald, Kerstin Stöver
Financed by IAPMA e.V. and The Xsabo Foundation:
Special thanks to The Xsabo Foundation, funding partner of the IAPMA Congress 2023 “PAPER ALIVE!” and the related Exhibition. With its financial support of the IAPMA Congress 2023, the congress-related “PAPER ALIVE!” Exhibition and its initiation of Minister Betty Amongi’s visit as Guest of Honour at the function, The Xsabo Foundation aims at furthering cooperation between Uganda, Germany (Saxony) and the wider world community.

More Information
Final destination of the 35th year IAPMA Anniversary Exhibition in Spain
IAPMA was founded in 1986 in Düren, Germany, at a meeting held in conjunction with the opening of The First International Paper Art Biennale in Europe at the Leopold Hoesch Museum. The first meeting of the association was housed by the paper Mill Museum of Capellades, Barcelona ( Spain).
The founding members originated from numerous countries around the globe who were elected to create an international association focusing on paper and all its aspects.
In the 35 years since its founding, IAPMA members have ventured to destinations far and wide to share their love of paper art and cultural exchange, creating a worldwide network of artists and craftspersons across more than 40 countries.
What is it that ties our past to our future? What is the path we take or make to get there?
How do we move around the obstacles in our path? Networks, maps, transit systems, systems of communication, interconnectedness, adventure, nostalgia, memory, intuition, resourcefulness and creative problem-solving. Perhaps it is not so much the destination as the journey. We have encouraged IAPMA members to explore this theme through paper artwork and share it with us.

More Information
An international exhibition featuring the exchange of Artist Books, supported by IAPMA. 72 Artists (44 IAPMA Members) from 36 Countries. An exhibition curated by Ângela Barbour, Curator, and IAPMA Exhibitions Coordinator.
The project was enrolled during the Covid-19 Pandemic between the years 2020 and 2021. The aim was to create an opportunity for artists around the world to exchange experiences through the exchange of artist books. Artists from any country were asked to participate, in particular IAPMA members who correspond to 44 artists in the exhibition, some new members joined IAPMA during the project.
Each artist partnered with another artist from a different continent. These artist pairs started a joint work, where each artist produced an artist book which would have been completed by the partner on the other side of the world and then sent it to Brazil to Ângela Barbour to organize this exhibition.
The precious collection of artist books was launched worldwide at the Oswald de Andrade Gallery in Sao Paulo Brazil, after being exposed at Pabellon de las Bellas Artes - UCA - Buenos Aires, and now is shown in Ecuador.
This exhibition is an IAPMA supported project.

IN 2021, IAPMA TURNS 35 YEARS
IAPMA is the world's leading organization for paper artists, currently numbering 561 members from 44 countries. The association was founded in connection with the very first paper biennial in the world at the Leopold-Hoesch Museum in Düren, Germany, in 1986. At that time paper as an art medium was far less well known than it is today. While the handmade paper history and production is one facet of the association's activities, the central focus is the handmade paper as an art form and contemporary artistic medium.
This year the association has a coral jubilee, which is celebrated with exhibitions in Australia, Denmark, China and Spain. 46 artists from 20 countries will show their works.
GRAND OPENING
Enjoy a unique musical experience with saxophonist Thomas Agergaard and cellist Tobias van der Pals.
CURATORS
Nicole Donnelly (IAPMA President), Angela Barbour (IAPMA Exhibition Coordinator) and Anne Vilsbøll (former Editor and President of IAPMA and Founder of the Paper Academy)

More Information
An international exhibition featuring the exchange of Artist Books, supported by IAPMA. 72 Artists (44 IAPMA Members) from 36 Countries. An exhibition curated by Ângela Barbour, Curator, and IAPMA Exhibitions Coordinator.
The project was enrolled during the Covid-19 Pandemic between the years 2020 and 2021. The aim was to create an opportunity for artists around the world to exchange experiences through the exchange of artist books. Artists from any country were asked to participate, in particular IAPMA members who correspond to 44 artists in the exhibition, some new members joined IAPMA during the project.
Each artist partnered with another artist from a different continent. These artist pairs started a joint work, where each artist produced an artist book which would have been completed by the partner on the other side of the world and then sent it to Brazil to Ângela Barbour to organize this exhibition.

In 2021, IAPMA celebrates 35 years of promoting paper art and handmade paper around the world. To celebrate this date, IAPMA organized the IAPMA CORAL Jubilee Exhibition which will be composed of a series of traveling exhibitions on three continents: Australia, Europe and Asia. 45 IAPMA members from all over the world present their paper artworks in the first edition of this exhibition in Tasmania.
Origin-Destination studies are used to define patterns of traffic in an area of interest.
While these studies specifically look at travel, we are asking you to consider the travel and growth of paper art and IAPMA around the world.
IAPMA was founded in Düren, Germany, at a meeting held in conjunction with the opening of 'The First International Paper Art Biennale in Europe' at the Leopold Hoesch Museum. The founding members originated from numerous countries around the globe who were elected to create an international association focusing on paper and all its aspects. In the 35 years since its founding, IAPMA members have ventured to destinations far and wide to share their love of paper art and cultural exchange, creating a worldwide network of artists and craftspersons across 40+ countries.
move around the obstacles in our path? Networks, maps, transit systems, systems of communication, interconnectedness, adventure, nostalgia, memory, intuition, resourcefulness and creative problem-solving. Perhaps it is not so much the destination as the journey. We encouraged IAPMA members to explore this theme through paper artwork and share it with us.
