Deconstructing Paper / PULP

June 21 – August 10

Artist Reception: June 21, 5:30-8:00pm

In TAC’s Main Gallery, Deconstructing Paper will show the work of artists Azadeh Hussaini, Antonius Tin-Bui, and Reisha, who each employ different methods of manipulating paper as a medium. The unique properties of paper include diverse applications, from cutting to collaging to sculpting of paper as a means and an end. Moreover, all three of the featured artists stretch and expand on the meaning of paper to explore identity. 

In the Elkins and Levenstein galleries, PULP will expand on the power of paper. This Call for Entry group exhibition is for any artwork that explores and manipulates the materiality of paper itself—using paper in unique and interesting ways to push its boundaries and surfaces. 

Important Dates for PULP:
