Paper Sculpture Book

Drawing on (s)cul(p)tural paradigms as diverse as paper-doll books, Madmagazine fold-ins and exploded schematic diagrams, the artists in The Paper Sculpture Bookoffer a hands-on, self-contained art show. Artworks meant to be cut out by the reader and assembled using very basic materials such as tape and rubber bands have been designed by 29 established and emerging contemporary artists, including The Art Guys, Minerva Cuevas, Seong Chun, Nicole Eisenman, Spencer Finch, Rachel Harrison, Stephen Hendee, Patrick Killoran, Glenn Ligon, Helen Mirra, David Shrigley, Sarah Sze, Chris Ware and Allan Wexler. Fred Tomaselli merges images from a birding book and an outdoor-clothing catalogue to create an ironic yet beautiful aviary. Janine Antoni's Crumpleprovides precise instructions for recreating a crumpled ball of paper, while Luca Buvoli invites the reader to take a pop-up flying lesson from the mysterious Professor M.a.S. Obviously, these are not your elementary-school paper airplanes.Ceruti, Mary is the author of 'Paper Sculpture Book', published 2003 under ISBN 9780916365691 and ISBN 0916365697.
