Wagley in her review of ‘Paperworks’ at The Craft and Folk Art Museum in Los Angeles, California. The review appears in Kolaj #14.

“Paperworks” achieves surprising idiosyncrasy, straddling the more content-driven and more craft-focused worlds of contemporary art.

“Paperworks” opened 27 September 2015 and runs through 3 January 2016. CAFAM says about the show: “‘Paperworks’ examines the range of work by 15 contemporary artists with strong ties to Los Angeles, who use paper as their primary medium. Their art comprises two-dimensional cut-outs and collages; free-standing sculptures; and large-scale installation that engage the architecture of the museum’s gallery space. Many of the works were created newly for this presentation.” “Paperworks” was organized for CAFAM by independent curator Howard N. Fox. An illustrated catalogue is available.
