INFINITE FOLD
englisch. 8to. (oktavformat). obr., (24) unpag. seiten, group exhibition: drawing space, 13 feb - 13 march 2010. arists: davide balula - walead beshty - isabelle cornaro - marie-jeanne hoffner diogo pimentão - clément rodzielski - pamela rosenkranz - simon schubert - oscar tuazon. iinfinite fold is a group exhibition in the drawing space in which artists engage with and transform the paper's surface by folding it. the story of a fold: in his memoirs of his studies at the bauhaus, hannes beckmann relates an anecdote which reads rather like a parable. one day, josef albers strode into the room with a bundle of newspapers under his arm, which he gave out to the students. he said he wanted them to make it into something meaningful while respecting the material and taking into account its particular properties. what he got was a whole range of figurines: boats, animals, aeroplanes - not a very satisfactory jumble of objects. the only exception was a young hungarian architect who had simply folded the sheet of paper lengthways then rested it on its two edges. albers explained that this student had fully understood the nature of the material, how "naturally suited the folding process was to paper, because it made such a pliable material stiff […] after the paper had been stood upright, it became visually active on both sides...". minimal berieben. sehr gutes exemplar.
