PULP
Kate Kato, Kasasagi Design
Paper in all its forms.
An international exhibition about paper in its widest uses, in partnership with and selected by the Paper Artist Collective and GF Smith.
Ready-to-wear paper cloaks, polished paper ‘gemstones’, hyper realistic plant replicas, paper made from mushrooms, suits of armour folded from one sheet of paper, stop-motion animations, and origamic architectural models are amongst the body of work from 30 international artists on show in PULP, an exhibition celebrating paper in its widest uses at MAKE Southwest.
Varying in scale from miniature to vast, two-dimensional and three-dimensional, and from intricately detailed exquisitely cut pieces to broad sculptural forms, this exhibition reveals this ubiquitous material in unexpected guises.
A material with a history extending as far back as 100BCE China, paper has a multitude of uses. This exhibition aims to show the huge variety of applications and techniques in use across the international world of paper making and paper art.
