VENUE: Project Space Gallery

With over 30 works, this exhibition demonstrates the diverse and innovative ways that Lucas Artists Program (LAP) Fellows have used paper as a vehicle for creative expression. Selected artists have marshaled the creative possibilities of the medium to create abstract, figurative, and text-based works. In their hands, paper has been transformed by paint, ink, print and mixed media; embossed, woven, cut up, converted into collage; and molded and shaped into sculpture.

Possibilities of Paper features highlights from the LAP’s extensive collection of works on paper by its fellows, as well as new commissions and works on loan. Artworks on view were either produced by artists during their stays at the LAP or influenced by their time in residence.

POSSIBILITIES OF PAPER is organized in association with a year-long anniversary celebration of Montalvo’s Residency Program. In 2015, we commemorate the 10-year jubilee of the Sally and Don Lucas Artists Residency as well as the foundation of the third oldest artists residency in the US at Montalvo.

This exhibition is made possible thanks to the generous support of: Ann & Gordon Getty Foundation; William and Flora Hewlett Foundation; James Irvine Foundation; McKnight Foundation; National Endowment for the Arts; David and Lucile Packard Foundation; Myra Reinhard Family Foundation; and University Art.
