Cut and Paste: Works of Paper focuses on the ways contemporary artists manipulate paper to create remarkable drawn, sculptural, assembled, woven, and folded works of art. From detailed hand cutting to mark making, draping and folding, casting and silhouettes, these wall-bound and sculptural reliefs consider the countless possibilities of the medium of paper. This exhibition celebrates the versatility and vitality of an ancient material that has been reinvented and reinterpreted through the skill of the 11 artists on view.
As part of the triennial series of traveling exhibitions Highlighting Contemporary Art in Georgia, organized by the Georgia Museum of Art, University of Georgia, and the Lyndon House Arts Center, Cut and Paste: Works of Paper reaffirms the diverse and creative pool of artists living and working in Georgia today.
This program is supported in part by the Georgia Council for the Arts through the appropriations of the Georgia General Assembly. The Council is a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts. The presentation of the exhibition at Telfair Museums is organized by Erin Dunn, Associate Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art.
