PAPER – A CROSS-CULTURAL VOICE

The impetus to exhibit Indian and Western artists’ works side by side stems from a desire to comment upon handmade paper’s renaissance and its journey around the world.

In the 21st century, society is focused on biodiversity, sustainability, recycling, and climate friendly behaviors like never before, which has brought ever more awareness to paper and the pulp from which it is made. We find ourselves in a “tree-and-plant material” era.

It is artists who, starting in the 1960s, rescued the over two-thousand-year-old hand papermaking tradition, transforming it from a utilitarian practice into an art form that reflects humanity’s collaboration with nature and an ever-growing ecological consciousness.

The exhibiting artists are, from India: Anupam Chakraborty,  Sudipta Das, Ravikumar Kashi, Shantamani Muddaiah, Kulu Ojha, Radha Pandey and Neeta Premchand.  
From Europe:  Emilie Lundstrøm, DK Jacki Parry, GB, Victoria Rabal, ES, Gangolf Ulbricht, DE, Anne Vilsbøll, DK and from USA: Sue Gosin.

The exhibition is curated by Anne Vilsbøll.
