The first paper art exhibition to be held in Gruyère (Switzerland) opened on 25 September 1993. Thirty years on, the Musée de Charmey is delighted to present the 11th edition of this juried exhibition, whose power to engage our imagination and feed our curiosity remains undiminished. Over the last three decades, the Museum has hosted works by close to 520 artists from 40 countries. To mark this special anniversary, the theme of this year’s Triennial is ‘roots’.
Roots is an expansive subject, which that the 59 exhibiting artists explore with verve and audacity, both in the interpretation of the theme and its execution.
The paper is sliced, glued, recycled, folded, crumpled, assembled, crafted, pulped and woven. The resulting works take us on a voyage of discovery across different worlds – from botany to Braille, via genealogy, major and minor stories, and even the square root.
