6 artists and one group used paper, text, typography and books to create sculpture, installations and new stories.
The Combat Paper project- USA, rag paper made from army uniforms by US Veterans, text in their own words
Alicia Martin- Spain, waterfall of books
Ros Rixon- UK/Canada, paper chains
Ebon Heath- letter sculptures and installations
Jerome Corgier- France, sculptural typography
The museum also had a really old library room, and a collection of miniatures.
The book waterfall certainly has quite the visual impact, but the Combat Paper Project is quite the emotional impact. What a way to help veterans process- in multiple senses of the word- their experience.
