http://www.allentownartmuseum.org/exhibition/above - fold - new - expressions - origami Sun, 03/05/2017 - Sun, 05/28/2017 Miri Golan will be at the Museum on Sunday March 5 Above the Fold is the first traveling exhibition to bring origami installations from around the world to North American audiences. Paper is transformed into breathtaking sculpture, large - scale installations, and conceptual works that express contemporary social, political, and aesthetic ideas. Nine international artists push the boundaries of paper as a medium to create bold, provocative works: Erik Demaine and Martin Demaine (Canada/USA), Vincent Floderer (France), Miri Golan (Israel), Paul Jackson (UK/Israel), Dr. Robert J. Lang (USA), Yuko Nishimura (Japan), Richard Sweeney (UK) and Jiangmei Wu (China/USA). These artists redefine a traditional Japanese craft as a modern global genre, inventing unexpected forms of artistic expression. Their works can be found in the permanent collections of prominent museums such as the Smithsonian American Art Museum's Renwick Gallery and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. http://www.allentownartmuseum.org/visit - us/hours - directions For more information: http://www.artsandartists.org/exhibitions/available - abovethefold/ http://www.courant.com/entertainment/museums - galleries/hc - origami - show - in - springfield - 0219 - 20150216 - story.html Also coming to the Allentown Area Between The Folds March 14 at Theatre 514, Allentown at 7:00 pm http://www.civictheatre.com/film/japanese/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Click%20here%20to%20learn%20more&utm_campaign=Civic%20February%2022%20Email Fine artists and eccentric scientists (from MIT and NASA) who have devoted their lives to the unlikely medium of modern origami. Â Through their determination to reinterpret the world in paper, they arouse a fascinating mix of sensibilities towards art, form, expressiveness, creativity and meaning. While looking at the surrounding information, I came across the following interview of Vanessa Gould. It only had 69 views. It explains how she came to make the movie. I found it interesting.
