Papertails
Among artists, paper as a medium of expression often finds itself second to the more popular mediums of sculpture and painting, even though its primary role is to capture an artist's initial ideas. Meanwhile, paper's responsiveness and intuitive form have enabled countless artists throughout the centuries. To reflect on paper's role in the arts, NYU's 80WSE Galleries presents Papertails, an exhibit curated by Kiki Smith and Valerie Hammond.
Smith & Hammond, who co-teach Advanced Printmaking at NYU and well known for their own works, bring in 14 widely known artists while maintaining a common thread of paper usage among the various works. The different forms, from drawings, painting, collage, scultpure, and photography, all show a reverence towards paper through a personal connection that the individual artists have to their works on paper. From Beka Goedde's subtle "group-session" drawings on fragile and translucent an-jing paper to Kathleen Graves hard-edged Photoshop wizardry on high-end archival inkjet paper, paper's versatility and responsiveness will forever ensure its role as an artist's first medium of expression.
Papertails opens September 12 and runs through November 5, 2011.
