This lavish exhibition book is created to accompany the exhibition ‘The Politics of Paper’ at Emami Art, Kolkata, which addresses a renewed interest by contemporary artists in the medium of paper as integral to their practice and a point of departure of expression. This show further situated itself within a more significant movement of reanalysing long-established forms of cultural production in the context of contemporary interpretative strategies.
Accompanied by the exquisite photographs of ten artists, the catalogue explains how paper embodies different ideas of creation and transformation, depicting the uniqueness of language and stylistic approach. The curatorial essay by Ushmita Sahu traces the historicity of the use of paper and its vivid contribution to artistic practice over time.
‘’ 'The Politics of Paper' explores and assembles distinct art practices that engage with paper as a material, a concept, a process and/or other intellectual engagements from individual, formal, historical, socio-cultural, and political perspectives.’
