Since its invention more than 2,000 years ago, paper has been an indispensable material that has permeated every aspect of life. Its functions and roles are innumerable, from recording information and communicating with others to wrapping things, wiping liquids, and transmitting light. The wide range of uses for paper is due to its flexible and easy-to-apply properties and characteristics, but it is also accompanied by some kind of manipulation or function in the society that humans have given it. Paper is a material that would not exist without human involvement, both before and after it becomes paper.
This exhibition focuses on such "paper" and "paper products" and introduces contemporary artists who have sublimated them into their unique expressions. Their works can be said to visualize ideas not "on paper" but "with paper. The questions posed by the artists in this exhibition through "paper," which is familiar to everyone, will illuminate the world around us and our sense of values from various angles.
