Papier, in a juncture between art and fashion, is an international touring exhibition showcasing artist-designer Bea Szenfeld’s striking paper couture — dresses and other sculptural fashion items made entirely from paper and worn by such pop icons as Lady Gaga and Björk — united with artist-author Stina Wirsén’s evocative and colorful illustrations.
Papier makes its Midwest debut February 6 – July 11, 202 at the American Swedish Institute in Osher Gallery and the Turnblad Mansion. In this remarkable, creative partnership, two prestigious Swedish talents meet in a mutual affection for the handmade and the common material of paper.
