New Exhibition! "A Few Words Worn Around the Edges, Pressed into Something Soft: Ten West Coast Women Printers" (USA) September 05, 2022 -March 05, 2023. Featuring IAPMA Member Michelle Wilson (@michellewilsonprojects) and other artists Opening Hours Monday and Tuesday 9 am – 7 pm Wednesday 10 am – 7 pm Thursday 9 am – 7 pm Friday 9 am – 5 pm Saturday and Sunday 2 pm – 5 pm Location: Robert B. Haas Family Arts Library (@yalehaasartslib) 180 York Street New Haven, CT 06511 Women have been involved in the printing and production of books in what became the United States since Elizabeth Glover established a press in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1638. After the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 forced her to flee the United States, Mary Ann Shadd, an African American woman, founded and published The Provincial Freeman, an antislavery newspaper, in 1853 in Ontario, Canada. This exhibition celebrates the important history of women in printing and publishing by featuring ten women artists, illustrators, and printers currently working on the West Coast of the United States. Through individual efforts and collaborations, apprenticing and mentoring, they produce stunning objects that push our understanding of “the book” and the role it can play in questioning the world we live in and celebrating contemporary efforts to achieve a more just, inclusive, and diverse society. The title of the exhibition, “A Few Words Worn Around the Edges, Pressed Into Something soft,” is a quote from Inge Bruggeman’s, The Quickest Forever (2017), which is displayed in Case 3. Curated by Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library staff members; Jessica Becker, Public Services Assistant, and Bill Landis, Education Program Director. The William H. Wright Special Collections Exhibition Area is located on the lower level of the Haas Family Arts Library. (Due to COVID 19 restrictions, exhibitions are currently open only to Yale affiliates authorized to be on campus.) #letterpress #artistbooks #bookarts #librodeartista #washi #printmaking #printmakersofinstagram #printmaker #iapmamember #printer #womenprinters #westcoastartists #yaleartslibrary #papermaking #papermaker #paperartist

New Exhibition - "East West - Sofia Paper Art Fest 2022" (Bulgaria) October 11, 2022 - March 12, 2023. Featuring IAPMA Members Daniela Todorova (@daniela.s.todorova), Verena Friedrich, Valentin Bakardjiev Opening Hours Tuesday to Sunday 11 am - 7 pm Closed Monday Gallery opening - 10/11/2022 - 6:30 pm Location Gallery Finesse 17 Hristo Belchev str Sofia East–West is the last exhibition in the program Sofia Paper Art Festival 2022 (@sofiapaperartfest). After presenting a variety of exhibitions as part of the festival's largest section, the Paper Art Biennial, the focus is now on sculpture and installation. The exhibition shows a selection of artists who are fascinated by three-dimensional possibilities. At the same time, we are launching a long-term exchange project between Bulgaria and Germany, which will continue over the next few years with traveling formats in both countries. The selected artists will present works in different styles and with diverse messages. The installations and objects overflow with structures and volumes in the range of white and black. Other artists use the illusion of volume or focus on reliefs, while others prefer amorphous forms in soft, earthy tones. Some of the artists occupy the space with luminous works that are a counterpoint to others that rely on lush color. The exhibition EAST-WEST aims to question certain aspects of sculpture and installation outside of the exhibition space, even though this particular exhibition presents more intimate works set in the gallery. The discussion about the new technologies in sculpture, the lectures on contemporary sculpture in urban and natural environments, the presentations by individual artists, and international sculpture events are among the important topics addressed in the program. The possibilities of three-dimensional works and the new technologies provoke new means of expression and this raises a number of questions and seeks innovative solutions. #paperart #paperartist #sofiapaperfest #papersculpture #paperartinstallation #papierkunst #fiberart #fiberartist #fiberartinstallation #fibersculpture #foldedpaper #foldedpaperart

New Exhibition - "Whereabouts: In Between Presence and Absence" (USA) July 25, 2022 -July 29, 2023. Featuring IAPMA Member Sun Young Kang (@kang.sunyoung) Opening Hours Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday 12 pm - 5 pm Thursday 12 pm - 7 pm Closed Sunday and Monday Location Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts Kendall College of Art and Design Ferris State University 17 Pearl St. NW Grand Rapids, MI 49503 "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." - Sun Young Kong #castpaper #papersculpture #paperartinstallation #iapmamember #sunyoungkang #papervessel #vessel #paperartist #recycledpaper #papermaking #papermaker #paperartistoninstagram #whereabouts #inbetweenspace #inbetweenspaceandplace
