PULP

PULPContemporary Cut-Paper by Mia Pearlman, Kako Ueda, Alta Buden, Natasha Bowdoin and Hong Seon Jang

Date: March 21 - May 17 Location: Cohen Gallery

Alfred, NY - Alfred University's Cohen Gallery is pleased to announce is upcoming exhibition, Pulp, curated by Alexis Grabowski (08'). Pulp is a group exhibition bringing together contemporary artists working with cut, collaged and assembled paper, including Mia Pearlman, Kako Ueda, Natasha

Bowdoin, Alta Buden and Hong Seon Jang. These artists, through tedious artistic labor, create intricate and often surreal articulations - ranging from eroded geologic forms and weather systems to elaborate traditional paper-cuts depicting corporeal forms, insects and urban life.

Together, the works in Pulp explore the improbable spectrum of possibilities offered by one of the most common staples of artistic production - to be broken down and transformed anew. The exhibition illuminates the flickering dimensionality and solidity of paper-media and the process of artistic production through deconstruction.

Gallery hours are Tuesdays 10 a.m. - 3 p.m., Wednesdays and Thursdays noon - 5 p.m. For more information please contact [email protected]@alfred.edu>.
