Weatherspoon Art Museum in Greensboro,
NC, Offers Biennial Art on Paper Exhibition
The Weatherspoon Art Museum at the
University of North Carolina at Greensboro, NC, is presenting,
Art on Paper 2010, a biennial exhibition, which will be
on view through Feb. 6, 2011.
Xandra Eden, the Weatherspoon's Curator of Exhibitions, has invited
seventy-five artists of regional and international significance
to present unique works made on, or of, paper. "With this
year's exhibition, the Weatherspoon continues to expand its international
scope," comments Eden, "Art on Paper 2010 includes
artists from across the Americas, Europe, Asia and the Middle
East, including new and recent work by Mequitta Ahuja, Diana Al-Hadid,
Ky Anderson, Tom Burr, Dawn Clements, Gabriel de la Mora, Katie
Holten, Eun Hyung Kim, William Powhida, Charlie Roberts, Dirk
Stewen, Frank Selby, and many others." The full list of participating
artists appears below.
Since 1965, the Weatherspoon's Art on Paper exhibition
has charted a history of art through the rubric of one-of-a-kind
works on paper. Now in its forty-first year, the steadfast commitment
of xpdex (formerly the Dillard Paper Company) has allowed the
Weatherspoon to acquire works from each and every Art on Paper
exhibition, resulting in the formation and tremendous growth of
the Dillard Collection of Art on Paper, which today numbers close
to 550 objects. Acquisitions have included work by some of art's
seminal practitioners, including Louise Bourgeois, Eva Hesse,
Brice Marden, Joan Mitchell, Robert Smithson, and Frank Stella.
Support for the exhibition and catalogue is generously provided
by the F. M. Kirby Foundation, Inc.
The 28-page Art on Paper 2010 catalogue, designed by Donna
Wojek-Gibbs, includes selected images, an exhibition checklist,
and curator's statement.
