IAPMA paper art biennale 2024 – “Rebloom”

GERMANY

“ReBloom” is the first Paper Art Bienniale of the International Association of Hand Papermakers and Paper Artists (IAPMA). The exhibition will showcase paper artworks by international artists from April 21 to August 11, 2024. The exhibition will take place in the castle of Hagen im Bremischen in Germany. In everyday life, paper is mostly known as an information carrier or packaging material. However, amongst artists, it is also known as strikingly flexible and versatile as an artistic medium in its own right. It is in the nature of paper that it can be reused and recycled, thus embodying a permanent life and offering countless possibilities for reuse and changeability.

The exhibition theme “ReBloom”, developed by Curator and IAPMA Exhibition Coordinator Ângela Barbour, revolves around paper's inherent potential to bring memories and experiences it has absorbed to life. The IAPMA Paper Art Biennale “ReBloom” features artworks that illustrate this. Artist must be a current member of IAPMA, at time of application and for the duration of the exhibition period until the return of artwork. Two- or three-dimensional paper artworks can be submitted. All techniques accepted (casting, folding, papier maché, pulp painting, encaustic, etc.) and open to all kinds of artwork (book art, collage, paper fashion, jewelry, installation, and more).
