Paper Cuts: The Art Of Contemporary Paper

Lecture and Workshop Rescheduled!

Paper Cuts, which closed on January 20, 2007 consisted of 40 objects made with paper by approximately 25 American artists. Although all the artists incorporate paper into their artwork, they employ a wide range of techniques and styles, including mixed-media assemblages, three-dimensional collage, and papier-mâché techniques. Many artists in the exhibition explore paper’s ability to be transformed from the flat to the voluminous, as well as the range of texture and the organic nature of paper.

        The closing reception, artist lecture, and workshop, have been rescheduled due to inclement weather.  The reception and lecture will be held during First Friday Art Trail on April 6, 2007 from 6:00 - 9:00pm.  The Buddy Holly Center is proud to present guest speaker and artist Kathryn Clark, from Brookston, Indiana, who will give a gallery talk during the reception starting at 6:30pm.  Clark and her husband founded Twinrocker Handmade Paper which was the pivotal in the modern revival of handmade paper in America.  The following day, April 7, 2007, the artist will present a demonstration and interactive workshop at 1:00pm. 

          This exhibit is a program of ExhibitsUSA, a national division of Mid-America Arts Alliance with The Texas Commission on the Arts and The National Endowment for the Arts.  Programming at the Buddy Holly Center is made possible in part by the generous support of Supporters of the Fine Arts (SOFA), CH Foundation, Helen Jones Foundation, Target and the City of Lubbock.  For more information about this exhibit or other events, please contact the staff at the Buddy Holly Center at 806.775.3560.
