FIAF Gallery

Rock, Paper, Scissors!
November 2009–March 2010

The FIAF Gallery presents a series of exhibits and talks exploring the whimsical theme of
Rock, Paper, Scissors!” as it relates to tools and materials used in art and design.

“Rock” is central to the lithographic technique exemplified by the Great Masters of Lithography exhibition, in that it relies on stones to transfer images; paper, as Carolle Thibaut-Pomerantz and Béatrice Coron will discuss, can serve as decorative art; and scissors are used by artists like Odon to craft paper into stunning works. Artist Greg Lauren will create a site-specific installation of striking, hand-sewn garment pieces, all made from paper.
