GALLERY TALK: Paper Working Artists
Friday, February 23, 1:00 pm, Hunt Gallery
Visitors to France, interested in contemporary art are often surprised and delighted when they see an exhibition of works by artists who do not figure in big museum shows or exchanges. They
have the pleasure of discovering themes and ways of working that are different from those found in the United States. Despite the ease of international travel and the internationalization of certain art concepts, works of art are still influenced by cultural traditions and ways of seeing. Paper Working is a cultural visit to Paris where an American audience in the St. Louis area can have an opportunity to compare, contrast and enter a world they would have little access to
unless they travel to France. In a world of virtuality, here are four artists of different origins, backgrounds and horizons; living and working in Paris and who share a common interest in working with paper as their artistic medium.. Whether medium or surface, paper takes on a new life, whether in the form of a book, shaped and sculpted into paper maché, or cut and glued into a collage. Paper Working is paper doing "its own thing."
Lectures, exhibition & reception are free and open to the public. These events are supported by the Department of Art and are free and open to the public. For more information, contact the Art Office at: (314) 968-7171, or email joness@webster.edu
