"ReBloom, IAPMA Paper Art Biennale 2024"

In everyday life, paper is mostly known as an information carrier or packaging material. However, amongst artists, it is also known as strikingly flexible and versatile as an artistic medium in its own right. It is in the nature of paper that it can be reused and recycled, thus embodying a permanent life and offering countless possibilities for reuse and changeability. The exhibition theme “ReBloom”, developed by Curator and IAPMA Exhibition CoordinatorÂngela Barbour, revolves around paper's inherent potential to bring memories and experiences it has absorbed to life. The IAPMA Paper Art Biennale “ReBloom” features artworks that illustrate this and tell stories of renewed life, an awakening that can be experienced with paper and the fibres it is mostly made of. In view of the difficult events in society and the environment in recent years, this exhibition is intended to help convey a positive perspective on life and vitality through Paper Art. The exhibition emphasizes the importance of regeneration, renewal and hope. It is intended to inspire reflection and creative efforts for a good future.

"Paper Alive!"

  • Staaliche Kunstammlungen Dresden Kunstgewerbemuseum (map)

Paper fulfills a variety of roles in our world. To the casual observer, paper can be a passive, single-use substance – something easily discarded after it has served its limited or temporary function. For the artist, the longevity of paper is crucial, as it dictates the lifespan of an artwork. Finally for the paper artist, PAPER is a medium very much ALIVE – malleable, enduring, and even assertive – and it is precisely these characteristics that we highlight during the 2023 IAPMA Congress in Dresden, PAPER ALIVE!
