Pumapapel:
Art in Paper
|
|
Third and Fourth Floor
galleries
July 13 - November 6, 2010
With paper as the main attraction,
Pumapapel:
Art in Paper showcases the beauty and versatility of paper
as an artistic medium, and explores paper in a range of art forms.
The exhibit features the works of seven artists, artisans, and
designers who use paper not just as a surface, but a source of
inspiration in its own light—Tony Gonzales, Tes Pasola, Pandy Aviado,
Joey Cobcobo, Impy Pilapil, Wataru Sakuma, and Asao Shimura.
Highlights
of the show include a floating Zen garden installation, textiles and
robes, limited-edition calendars, and couture from students of the
School of Fashion and the Arts—all made out of various types of paper.
