Cultural Calendar

Slash: Paper under the Knife takes the pulse of the international art world's renewed interest in paper as a creative medium and source of artistic inspiration, examining the remarkably diverse use of paper in a range of art forms. The exhibition surveys unusual paper treatments, including works that are burned, torn, cut by lasers, and shredded.
Selected artists will be commissioned to create site-specific or site-referential works, and others will be invited to create work onsite in MAD's three artist studios that will subsequently be installed in the exhibition.

Shaul Tzemach received both his B.A. and M.F.A. degrees from Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem.  The artist began exhibiting his work in 2000, and has continued to show at museums and galleries in Israel. This is his first New York showing.
