More Information
Ras Al Khaimah Fine Arts Festival (RAKFAF), a nonprofit community arts festival designed to showcase the work of local and emerging artists, photographers, and filmmakers and engage the community through a diverse calendar of cultural and creative programming.
As a part of artist in Residence programme. Masarratfatima Sulaimani will exhibit her solo exhibition during the festival. The installation titled 'Footprints' is a celebration of the relationship between nature and humankind. Inspired by these elements, the installation explores the ongoing dialogue between these two entities, as one continues to take over the other—like water washing over footprints—and yet neither stops moving.
The artist's intent behind this piece was to create a reflection on the common characteristics and duality of both elements: both being so strong yet equally fragile. It also highlights how our presence on earth affects nature, and vice versa: we leave our marks on our surroundings as we pass through them, but those marks will eventually wash away or be reclaimed by nature in turn. The installation is made of paper by hand cutting it and for some parts- papers are hand-made from plants found in Ras Al Khaimah. Each piece is uniquely created to create the impression of a trail through a surrealistic representation of nature and man-made spaces.
Material: hand made paper, hand cut Paper and branches

More Information
In this year long project, Bruce G Bunting explores merging paper art with frames I displayed it in. He did this by casting frames from handmade paper for display of the art. In some cases, the art was added to the frame in the form of a collage. In others, the ‘art’ was cast as part of the frame using shaped molds.

When PRINT Meets PAPER

Artist
Robert C. Williams Museum of Papermaking

More Information
Curated by Georgia Deal, When PRINT Meets PAPER focuses on artists working at the intersection of print and paper. This show includes the work of Melissa Harshman, Kelly Taylor Mitchell, Marilyn Propp, Gretchen Schermerhorn and Georgia Deal. Each artist approaches the “marriage” of paper and print in unique ways, some coming from the lexicon of print and others from a primary focus and love of hand papermaking. It can be argued that a commonality connects the works, with the origins of printmaking historically addressing social, political and narrative themes.

More Information
The story told by the trees, or the work of Maria Komorowska at the Museum of Papermaking.
Thanks to cooperation with the outstanding paper art artist Maria Komorowska, the Museum of Papermaking in Duszniki-Zdrój had the honor of opening a new exhibition in the only Paper Art Gallery in Poland. On the Trunk - an unusual exhibition completely inspired by nature and the artist's fresh look at such a trivial (it might seem) piece of nature as a trunk - the last remnant of a felled tree.
Maria Komorowska, lives and works in Warsaw. She is currently a professor at the University of Ecology and Management in Warsaw at the Faculty of Architecture. However, her work extends well beyond the walls of the capital. And so, for example, she has been connected with the Museum of Papermaking for years, both artistically and emotionally. It is in the historic production hall of the 16th century paper mill that many of her works have been created, and this is because one of her main interests is the technique of handmade paper. She shows up there every year to work intensively on her next works of art. She also created works there that enabled her to defend her PhD.

More Information
Whereabouts: The Influence of Place and Space is an ongoing series of installations considering the most public-facing space – the Lobby, Living Room, and Cases. Artists build an immersive environment or site-specific work that responds to the space’s architecture, ornamentation, furniture, and social nature. These works consider the nuanced understanding of art, design, and craft to push conceptual and material boundaries.
In Between Presence and Absence uses discarded paper to create paper pulp and cast everyday vessels. This process allows me to visualize the invisible — the parallel to the visible world. As I deconstruct the original identity of the vessels by installing them upside-down, I'm highlighting the container's void. As a result, the negative space of the UICA Lobby ceiling is filled with emptiness, articulating a non-describable concept, the inseparability of presence and absence, and the tension between them.

Gronging's Light at Museum hetMOW

Museum hetMOW
Hoofdweg 161
9695 AE Bellingwolde
More Information
The MOW hosts the exhibition "Gronings Light". With "Gronings Light" you might think of the wide space there, but I take a different point of view, the wealth of ideas in Groningen. Think of the cartoon character that lights up when he gets an idea. It is a spatial work in which an old innovation is brought together with a new one in one work.
The starting points are the strawboard industry in the past and the project “the wide green dike” for the future. The straw board industry in Groningen arose because farmers had a surplus of straw and there were enough workers, fuel and clean water in the area. The industry has been lost due to, among other things, shorter grain varieties, odorous cardboard, water pollution, etc. The last factory of that specific product closed in the 1980s.
For the installation, I collected cardboard boxes of the same size.
A box is intended to safely store and/or transport the contents. The content is usually private and not visible. Hidden.
With a little light you might discover...
