Celio Braga, Placebos, 2008-09
Or, cut paper rather. Over the holiday I saw a really impressive exhibition called Slash: Paper Under the Knife at the Museum of Art and Design in Manhattan, a totally great, very digestible museum. You just can't image all of the techniques that are explored in the show, from stop motion video to sculpture to photographic images that didn't use a camera. It's seriously the kind of show that falls flat online or even in the catalog...it's a must see in person. And lucky for you it's up until April, so you have time to make it to New York.
ps...the Braga piece above is made from medical paper inserts found in prescription medications of friends and family.
Seriously.
