Now, at the end of its second millennia, Paper has had a leading role in the human story. This exhibition will celebrate the endless way that Paper, the most commonplace of materials, can be manipulated while focusing on artworks where Paper, the material and its specific cultural history is at the technical and conceptual center of the work. In this time of remote work and learning, digital file sharing and clouds, streaming everything, this exhibition will show how Paper continues to carry the tactity and warmth of the human hand.

Exhibiting Artists: John T. Adams, Sr., Alison Balcanoff, Jessica Brown, Tiffany Budzisz, Debra Collins, Nicole Czapinski, Dan Droz, Virginia Farnsworth, Richard Goodall, Reni Gower, Ryder Henry, David Jenkins, Hannah Kohl, Karen Krieger, Bianca Levan, Emily Sciulli, Sarah Simmons, Stephen Grebinski, Janelle Washington, Annie Weidman, Zev Woskoff

This exhibition will be juried and curated by Imin Yeh. Yeh works predominantly in paper, and her art uses repetitive handcraft and mimicry as a strategy for exploring the issues around the unseen labor and production that lies behind our many unconsidered everyday objects. Imin Yeh is an interdisciplinary and project-based artist working in sculpture, installation, and participatory events
