Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art, Auburn University presents Between the Folds. Free tickets are available at jcsm.auburn.edu. The Museum Cafe will be open for small plate dining and
specialty beverage service.
The film opens with three of the world's foremost paper artists - a former sculptor in France folding caricatures in paper rivaling the figures of Daumier and Picasso; a hyper-realist who walked
away from a successful physics career to instead challenge the physics of a folded square; and an artisanal papermaker who folds impressionistic creations from the very same medium he makes from scratch.
As the film progresses, however, the artists become less conventional, and the post-modern concepts of abstraction, minimalism, deconstruction, process, and empiricism take root – mirroring 20th
century art itself. While debates arise on issues of technique, symbolism and purpose, the film ultimately culminates with the notion that art and science are but two different interpretations of the very same world around us.
