Paper is a carrier of ideas. It is encoded with material intelligence. How do artists think through paper? In an increasingly digital world, is paper still relevant? In the hands of artists, paper affords glimpses of the repositories of knowledge, accumulated over time, constantly being adapted and refined. Paper is employed rather loosely here as a word, an idea, and a process. It is a platform on which artists can showcase their experiences, imprint themselves and inscribe it with both past and present. This exhibition highlights the work of contemporary artists as storytellers, evoking precious personal and cultural memories, through a long tradition of paper manipulation. The works astound through the transformations of pieces of paper into objects of visual feast and irresistible emotional resonance.
