Walsh Gallery - Seton Hall University

Information

PAPERWORK, to be shown 11/10 - 12/12/08,open to all artists who use
paper in their work; preference will be given to those artists who
experiment with the medium, so as to introduce visitors to fresh
adaptations of a traditional material. By focusing on works of artists
that use a traditional artistic medium non-traditionally, the curators
seek to create an environment where visitors can debate the
connotations of a work on paper. By utilizing the familiarity of paper
as a resource, the curators hope to engage visitors in a dialogic
experience that will encourage visitors to use a wider spectrum of
descriptive terms to discuss the art on display as well as challenge
the limited perception of works on paper.

The curators are especially interested in artbooks, photography, mail
art, stamp art, design, fashion, origami, sculpture, installation,
collage and cut-outs. $15/5 entries.

Deadline: 09/19/08
