Papier 13: Local Matters

Papier13_inside
Photo by M-KOS

Papier 13 Art Fair proceeded to hold a sixth annual installment in the city of Montreal, this year between 26–28 April. While its tradition continued in exclusively showing paper-based art works, the fair tent noticeably grew in size to occupy 15,000 square feet – a much larger surface than in previous editions – to accommodate a greater number of galleries as well as more spacious lecture and lounge areas. Montreal’s only art fair especially caught our attention this year in setting up shop right on Ste. Catherine – the city’s busiest high street – which naturally allowed for an increase in attendance.

Observer Effect

at Gallery 400, Chicago

Artists: Jessica Hyatt, Steffani Jemison, Jochen Lempert, John O’Connor, Steve Roden, Jorinde Voigt
Curated by Carrie Gundersdorf and Lorelei Stewart

Each artist’s idiosyncratic approach of observing and understanding his/her distinct subject matter reveals the artist’s own subjectivity through this process, and discloses how each artist, the observer, is part of what is being observed.
