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

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.

A catalogue is available

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.

More Information

In the fragile moment just before something falls apart, time seems to change shape, turning to dust, slipping into memory, and moving onward.
This exhibition takes as its starting point the cycles of nature and its constant transformation. It traces shifts from stability to disintegration, from manual to digital processes, from darkness to light.

The viewer is invited into a spatial installation of paper, textiles and video, where each work carries traces of its own decomposition. Intricate jacquard fabrics with organic patterns are draped in layers alongside delicate paper objects shaped like plants. In the brightest openings, what has sprouted begins to break down; in the darkest corners, something new takes root. And so everything begins again. Nothing disappears, everything remains.

More Information

The exhibition "The Power of Paper" invites you to discover the versatility of paper as a visual material. From delicate folds to monumental installations, each work demonstrates how the artists push the boundaries of this everyday material. Paper exudes vulnerability and strength!

Ina Fekken presents small and large dioramas. These are hand- or laser-cut and based on forms from nature. The focus will be on works related to water. Just like paper, they are both fragile and powerful at the same time.

More Information

Fungi belong to the oldest and at the same time most hidden actors of life on Earth. The special exhibition FUNGA invites you to rediscover this independent kingdom – beyond the known fruiting bodies and far beyond the role of edible mushrooms.

The exhibition shows how fungi as mycelial networks control ecological cycles, build soils and enable symbioses without which life on land would hardly be conceivable. It traces from the ancient origins of fungi over their key role in nature and evolution to their close relationship with humans – for example in the skin and gut microbiome.

In addition to scientific insights, FUNGA also opens cultural perspectives: fungi as medicinal remedies, as part of rituals and myths, and as defining motifs in art and pop culture. Current research approaches on sustainable materials and biotechnological applications finally build the bridge into the future.

On display are various Mykobütten - fungi-paper and dyed fibers with fungus such as wool and silk.

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.

Kunstmuseum in Marburg

More Information

For the first time, a comprehensive retrospective is showcasing large parts of the complete works of Marburg artist Katharina N. Eitel, who passed away ten years ago at the age of 70. Katharina N. Eitel was a co-founding member of IAPMA.

During her more than forty years as an artist, Katharina Natalie Eitel gained public recognition with her highly acclaimed large-scale paper installations from the ‘zeithaut’series in museums, a church and other exhibition venues, but she rarely exhibited individual paintings or drawings, her objects and experimental paper art.

On display will be a selection of her costumes created in London,
large-format sketchbooks, handmade papers with drawings and paintings, paper artworks, marbled pictures, photographs and the results of her artistic exploration of central themes such as dialogue, vessels, landscape, the past and the body.
