This group exhibition, curated by Diana Ewer, is celebrating the renaissance of cut paper as an artistic medium where 12 international artists have been featured, each working in their in particular expertise whether it be a carefully sliced book or an intricately cut piece of paper.
Cardboard Ladies by Christian Tagliavini
The realm of cardboard art is easily unsurpassed with the numerous amounts of ways that it can be manipulated, everything from apartments to installations and music videos to even fruit.
Now we can say that fashion and photography can have a share in this realm with Swiss-Italian born Christian Tagliavini’s Dame Di Cartone, which literally translates to Cardboard Ladies. What he has created is a glimpse into the past with these lovely portraits, the clothes being entirely crafted out of cardboard and now for your viewing pleasure if you happen to be in London. The exhibition “Cut Out & Keep” is being held at the at the Diemar Noble Photography Gallery until January 7th, 2012.

Corrugated Youth: Cardboard Exhibition with Kiel Johnson
Kiel Johnson is a locally based Los Angeles artist who not only creates mind-blowing illustrations, but also makes incredible realistic pieces with only the use of cardboard, hot glue and tape. He recently was the artist in residence at Cypress Hill College for an intensive three day workshop with students to help him create and film his upcoming video project with Roger.TV. During his stay the students were able to learn what it’s like to be hands on in the studio as well as see Kiel’s process from conceptualization to realization and produce some seriously cool robot outfits for the shoot.

Chiral | Projection & Paper sculpture by Robert Seidel | MOCA Taipei 2010
“Chirality is a scientific term describing a structure that is not identical to its mirror image. Chiral collects cinematic etudes, which develop various conceptual approaches in order to expand the two-dimensional image into space. They are projected onto a sculpture (510 x 260 x 370 cm) and a screen (250 x 200 cm) made from handmade Taiwanese paper and develop very different lives on these configurations of the same material.”
