Could paper become an individual art medium and go beyond its common use as a support material and surface for writing, drawing, painting, printing, wrapping, etc.? Paper, a flexible and affordable medium, has been utilised in our daily life as tissues, money, books, letters, tickets, receipts, and so forth, as well as metaphors in different cultures. In Asia, paper has been often used as offerings at funerals, as clothing, as windows and doors in houses, and as talismans in ritual or religious contexts. In a digital age when the significant functions of paper, especially writing, have gradually diminished or been replaced, could the contemporary art of paper foster our (re)connections with paper and its cultural, intellectual, and spiritual significance in the past?

This exhibition, featuring the artworks of 15 contemporary artists from diverse cultural backgrounds, presents a three-dimensional, multisensory, and affective “paperscape” that resonates and contrasts with the simple and pure form of paper. It evokes our original sensations for paper and our memories about it, along with the stories embedded within. It explores the inherent quality of paper as a medium that naturally stimulates a dialogue between textual and visual languages. It also negotiates the artisanal identity of paper art and its association with folk art.
