“Paper Cuts”:
\nWinston Smith, John Held, Jr., David Jones, and Hope Kroll
\n1-31 October 2015<\/h2>\n

\"hope-kroll-maps-and-guns-web\"“Paper Cuts”, a group\u00a0show featuring Bay Area artists Winston Smith, John Held, Jr., and David Jones, and Hope Kroll from Central California. Reminiscent of Matisse\u2019s “Cut-Out” series, “Paper Cuts” shows how paper can take on a strength and beauty in it\u2019s abstract\u00a0and narrative forms. In this exhibition, the artists\u00a0observe how such a simple medium\u00a0can be transformed into diverse ranges of forms. Considering paper\u2019s history as\u00a0one of the oldest formats for documentation and avenues for expressing ideas,\u00a0the exhibition continues to foster the growth of this utilitarian medium and\u00a0explores how it can adapt with the times.<\/p>\n

“Paper Cuts” features four artists who all\u00a0express their unique take on the same material.\u00a0Winston Smith\u2019s work, in their traditional collage format, express a social-cultural\u00a0phenomenon. They deal with America and the world\u2019s issues and tragedies,\u00a0using icons, humour and aesthetic juxtaposition. Hope Kroll, like Smith yet different in approach and subject, intensifies her collage with three-dimensional\u00a0exploration of contemporary ideas using vintage books. David Jones, recycling vintage puzzles, causes us to reach for a\u00a0separate reality \"hope-kroll-homage-to-nabokov-web\"within the child\u2019s familiar game. John Held, Jr., whose many\u00a0years of being active in the Fluxus-generated world of mail art, has reinvented\u00a0himself using the cut out perforations from his arcane, yet extremely beautiful,\u00a0perforation machine. Each of these gems glisten and glow when adhered to\u00a0canvas to create formal and enticing works of conceptual contemporary art.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Opening Reception takes place Thursday, 8 October, 6-8PM.<\/p>\n

Kolaj<\/em>\u00a0featured Winston Smith’s work in Kolaj<\/em> #6 (on the cover and the interview, “In Paste We Trust”<\/a>).
