Zugleich gibt die Ausstellung einen Überblick über aktuelle Themen, Motive, Arbeitsfelder und Inhalte sächsischer Künstlerinnen und Künstler und damit einen Einblick in momentane Entwicklungen und Tendenzen der regionalen Kunstszene. The WINTERSALON of the Meissen Art Association follows the tradition of the annual exhibitions of many art associations, in which artists with a regional reference are given the opportunity to present their works of the last years to the public and to sell them. At the same time, the exhibition provides an overview of current themes, motifs, fields of work and contents of artists from Saxony and thus an insight into current developments and tendencies of the regional art scene.

Baum - Holz - Papier, 28 Nov-20 Dec 2020, Ursula von Kirchbach, Gerda Moser, Hugo Braun-Meierhöfer, Pielenhofen, Germany @designwerke @resom.art #hugobraun-meierhöfer #iapmamembers #paperartexhibition #paperarts #paperartists #papersculpturearts #paperdrawingarts #paperoriginarts More info: The Carola Insinger Gallery in Distelhausen, near Regensburg in Bavaria, idyllically situated in the countryside, offers three artists the opportunity to present their works to the public in a joint exhibition. The guideline "from the tree - to the wood - to the paper" reflects the appreciation for trees, which provide wood from which paper is made. The three artists complement each other in their respective work themes: There are drawings on the theme of trees (Gerda Moser), artistic woodturning works with fresh mossy wood (Hugo Braun-Meierhöfer) and origami paper objects (Ursula von Kirchbach).

'What is art? - Art is - in whichever field you see it - never something random. As much as it is based on talent, gift, overpowering, it is always the opposite of " well meant ", of the harmless running of words, chisel or colors. It is task, responsibility, and it requires the commitment of learning, meditation and practice, of the whole person.'

Paper Art, Mildam, Netherlands, 2 Aug-2 Nov 2020, Canan Topaloglu-Hermans #iapmamember #paperartist #paperartexhibition #paperart #paperartinstallation #paperjoy💕 @canantopaloglu.art more information: 'The individual tea bag papers after their life function of giving colour, smell and taste, form after being dried and sewed together a new kind of patchwork. At first it seems to be a carpet, a textile, a painting, or a two dimensional object. But the paper starts to create its own form, almost spontaneously, as if it takes over control, finding new forms of life and function. Weather a ball, a cube, a square or sphere, it becomes a three dimensional self- forming object, a transmutation, constantly changing as life itself. In its lightness it is free and has no limitations in form nor in function.'

Samen… Verschillend - Seed... Scattering, 18 Oct-20 Dec 2020, Bennekom, Netherlands @mayasiepel #MayaSiepel #iapmamember #paperartist #paperartexhibition #paperart #paperjoy💕 More information: An article by Francien van Overbeeke entitled: Three books, a story about the Tenach, the Bible and the Koran was a source of inspiration for Maya for a project about world religions. A discovery of the writer is that these 3 books draw from the same source. Islam has the same roots as Christianity and Judaism. Roots that go back to a common patriarch. For Jews he is called Avraham, the Christians call him Abraham and for Muslims he is called Ibrahim. And so God also has different names: JHWH, God, Allah.

Dierbaar-Dier op reis, Amsterdam, Netherlands, 16 Oct-01 Nov 2020, Saskia Pfaeltzer, Ina Fekken, Petra Bosboom, Fiona Zondervan, Petra Boshart, Marlies ter Stege @saskiapfaeltzer #inafekken #petrabosboom @fionazondervansculpture @petraboshart #marliesterstege #iapmamember #papersculpture #paperartexhibition #paperarts #paperartists #paperjoy💕 Lately Ina Fekken has been working with blocks of tracing paper. She is showing the serie "Pleureuses" and "The remarkable disappearance ....". The latter is about insect numbers that have declined alarmingly. The work shows an increasingly disappearing image of an insect. For the series “Pleureuses” she used the feathers of, among others, the white heron as an example. They are cut from a block of tracing paper. The block remains intact with contours visible and the feathers hanging like a "tail".

Biennale sächsischer Druckgrafik Die von der Fachjury getroffene Auswahl der 100 druckgrafischen Arbeiten spiegelt die ganze Bandbreite des Themas vom 'nervenden bis zum produktiven Störer', von der Perspektive auf persönliche Situationen bis zu politisch verhandelten, von strukturalistisch angelegten Blättern bis hin zur überraschenden Entdeckung eines Raubfisches im gegebenen Thema. Randbereiche der Druckgrafik, die Verwendung digitaler Werkzeuge und die Herstellung unikater Drucke nehmen dabei einen immer größeren Stellenwert ein.

Zeiten - Schichten - Schriften - Winterthur, Switzerland Christine Läubli 29 Aug - 12 Sep 2020, opening 20nov2020 #christineläubli #iapmamember #paperarts #paperartist #paperjoy💕 More Info: Time is an incomprehensible phenomenon for humans. Our body changes, things pass away, new things take the place of the old. Our memory stores in a disorganized way what seems important to us. Images and writings make it possible to collect, order and design in a targeted manner. Just like the thread, Christine Läubli accompanies writing through life. Whether in the creation of images or the writing of texts - it is always a matter of finding the precise form. By dealing with a topic for a long time, she tries to grasp its core and shape it in its very own way. The attraction lies in the process, in the slowness, the silence, in which something new breaks open, takes shape and expression. Die Zeit ist für den Menschen ein unfassbares Phänomen. Unser Körper verändert sich, Dinge vergehen, Neues tritt anstelle des Alten. Unser Gedächtnis bewahrt ungeordnet auf, was ihm wichtig scheint. Bilder und Schriften ermöglichen es, gezielt zu sammeln, zu ordnen und zu gestalten. Ebenso wie der Faden begleitet Christine Läubli die Schrift durchs Leben. Ob beim bildnerischen Gestalten oder dem Verfassen von Texten – immer geht es darum, die präzise Form zu finden. Indem sie sich lange Zeit mit einem Thema befasst, versucht sie, dessen Kern zu erfassen und in seiner ureigenen Weise zu gestalten. Der Reiz liegt im Prozess, in der Langsamkeit, der Stille, in der etwas Neues aufbricht, Form und Ausdruck annimmt.
