Summary

Therese Weber delves into the innovative world of American Paper Art through the work of artist and researcher Therese Weber. Beyond conventional uses of paper, Weber explores its cultural history and artistic possibilities, transforming paper pouring and dipping into a distinctive visual language. Her diverse practice spans from paper fibre and pulp painting to prehistoric rock carvings and site-specific installations in remote natural settings. Influenced by extensive research trips to Japan, China, and Central Asia, her art examines themes of centre and periphery, borders, and crossings, reflecting a rich spatial and conceptual dialogue.

Description

Beyond the Sheet

It was the pioneering spirit in American Paper Art that sparked Therese Weber's interest in the material far beyond its conventional use. As an artist and researcher, she has since devoted herself to the medium and its cultural history, translating the process of paper pouring and dipping into an individual language of images and form.

From paper creations using paper fibre and pulp painting, to research into prehistoric rock carvings and site-specific installations and performative actions in remote desert and mountain regions, Therese Weber's artistic practice displays a methodological diversity.

Her research trips and prolonged stays in Japan, China and Central Asia were decisive for the artist's concepts. This book presents the focal points of her work, but also shows how the artist interweaves different media and themes.

Exploring the spatial context between centre and periphery, the notion of borders and border crossings is at the heart of her visual vocabulary and characterises her artistic language.
