Special Installations & Focus Sections

Art on Paper’s public projects will return in 2020 with large-scale installations that push the boundaries of work on paper. The FLATFILES focus section highlights independent print dealers and publishers from across the country.

Maser | Presented by Tandem Press

Postage/storage tubes are the building blocks for this installation. Maser will create a 3d immerse space for the attendees of the art fair with a variety of different sized tubes (that will have his artwork pattern applied to them). Whoever buys a work at the art fair will get their piece shipped to them within a tube that has come from the installation. This will give the installation another purpose and with all hope leave no trace. Everyone is accountable and a collective community is created. A numbering system will be in place to put each element in its right location, this numbering system can them be the number of the edition, just like a fine art limited art piece on paper.

Maser is an artist originally from Ireland, now living in the USA. As early as 1995 under the moniker ‘Maser’, he began painting graffiti on the streets of Dublin, where he soon earned the respect of other graffiti artists in Ireland and throughout Europe for his unique abstracted style. After studying Visual Communication at Art School in his home city, he went on to establish himself as one of Ireland’s leading visual artist working in the urban environment.

Edgar Heap of Birds | Presented by GalleryFritz

Coming from Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes, the artist has been producing text-based conceptual and often public art messages in multiple medias for three decades.

Karen Margolis, Scorched | Presented by K. Imperial Fine Art

Symbolizing more than the exterior world, or the implicit promise of providing direction, maps symbolize our inner journeys, our hopes, our dreams and even our states of mind. Working with maps of cities throughout the world, I explore the changing landscape of both our physical world and our internal worlds through the arbitrariness of loss and destruction and penetrate deep under the surface to locate regeneration. My process involves elimination and accumulation. I enhance their colors to amplify the maps’ beauty and trace over roadways to augment their intrinsic structure and utility. Then, using a soldering iron, paradoxically, as my drawing tool, I burn holes into the maps and excise discs. Obliterating cities and other geographic data, the holes produce location displacements, subverting their ability to communicate coherent information. But, as maps are layered on top of each other, passages emerge into new territories and interrupted routes find new connections. Possibilities open for something new to be generated from what was lost.

I include in this installation hybrid sculptures in process of unraveling and collapsing. These constructions are intended as physical embodiments of the chaos inside our heads, each one residing within a paradox of bravado and uncertainty. Working with memory, location and dislocations, I convert discordant, tangled feelings into dense networks of wire embedded with maps, thread, discarded and found materials. My approach is both studied and improvised, organizing chaos and unifying fragmentation into fluid, yet compressed space. The constructions serve as a way to connect with the nature inside all of us.
