Art on Paper: The 44th Exhibition

Weatherspoon Art Museum (UNCG)
May 21 – September 3
Art on Paper celebrates contemporary art in which the use of paper—either as surface or material—is a primary concern. Since 1965, this dynamic survey has uniquely taken the pulse of contemporary art by showcasing artworks made on or with paper. This year’s installation features compelling new work by twenty-five artists from across the country. From exquisitely rendered ink drawings and densely layered collages to embroidered pages and “plucked” paper constructions, each artist has taken full advantage of paper’s astonishing possibilities as both surface and structure. In their hands the medium’s flexibility and facility has been used to explore a breadth of themes—from family relationships to geography, science fiction to ancient history, the natural world to digital technology. Visitors are sure to encounter works that both resonate with personal experiences and inspire new ways of thinking.

2018 Artspace show pre-planning

Posted on by

From: Janet Guertin

Hi TBAers,

This time next year our group exhibit at Artspace will have been several weeks in! Wow.

Many of us will be Feb 25, Saturday to plan upcoming TBA events including this show, so to be efficient with our time could you take a few minutes this week to think about a few items I’ve included below? I’d recommend flagging/bookmarking/printing this email as it contains info you might want to refer back to.

A few of us visited the gallery space this week to get some initial inspiration, a few measurements and an overall feel for the space. Pics attached. If you have a chance and haven’t been there in a while I encourage you to take a look. They have knocked out a wall that allows a direct view of the gallery as you walk in the entrance–I’m really excited about the visibility this modification allows! The current exhibit in the space, Location Known, is worth a peek too.

A few details:

  • The show will run from Friday, January 26 – Saturday, March 3, 2018, in Gallery 1, the main first floor gallery straight ahead just beyond the entrance.
  • Everyone associated with TBA is invited to contribute
  • Underlying themes are recycling/upcycling, repurposing for new use or interpretation
  • All work should be at minimum composed of 70% recycled/upcycled materials, books, paper, etc
  • Each artist can contribute up to 3 pieces (within reason; talk to me if what you’re working on or considering making is large)

Things to consider:

  • If you were in the ECU show, are there any pieces you might want to contribute?
  • Concept and title: While the underlying theme is upcycling and repurposing of materials I’d like to move away from the title of “Upcycle” as we used before. Here’s a few that have come up so far (some of which could have a second read type treatment):
  • emerge: a book’s second life
  • (re)member
  • reissue
  • (re)align
  • pageless: exploring the repurposed book object
  • once again
  • repurposed

Bring any and all questions you may have, I look forward to discussing further!

That’s all for now. I look forward to seeing everyone next Saturday!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Janet
