Pan American Art Projects presents Beyond Paper Boundaries
2020-02-25 16:00 - 19:00 | Pan American Art Projects, 274 NE 67th Street, Miami, FL, 33138, United States
Tuesday, February 25th from 4 – 7pm enjoy the Opening Reception of the group show Beyond Paper Boundaries at Pan American Art Projects. Paper is an ironic material, at once delicate, yet resilient. It is so thin and fine, and yet the content on it can carry so much weight. Paper has been the base upon which we record our history, reveal secret loves, mark victories and disasters, express sorrow and joy. Paper is so fragile, and yet some of our most important remnants of our past have been preserved on this fine material. The exhibition is curated by Janda Wetherington and is on view through March 21, 2020.
The purpose of this show is two-fold. First, in the main gallery, a look at the way that artists can manipulate and contort paper to bring actual dimension and weight to it sculpturally, through folding, shadow play, and layering, The act of complex engineering converts the two-dimensional paper into a three-dimensional object. These pieces push the physical boundaries between the second and third dimensions. Artists in the main gallery include: Ariamna Contino, Yaya Firpo, José Manuel Fors, Carlos Gallardo, Ana Meneses, Ronald Morán, Andrés Paredes, Adislen Reyes, Graciela Sacco, Rusty Scruby, and Toña Vegas.
Second, the gallery will introduce Grey Salon, a space which gives the opportunity to exhibit highlighted works on paper from their collection creating the perfect setting for beginning collectors.
