PAPER!AWESOME!

Group exhibition · curated by Brion Nuda Rosch
Eli Ridgway Gallery, San Francisco · February 20 – March 27, 2010

Eli Ridgway Gallery is pleased to present PAPER!AWESOME!, a group exhibition of new works on paper by over one hundred artists. Curated by gallery artist Brion Nuda Rosch, the exhibition gathered more than three hundred brand-new works — each made on the most basic of canvases, an 8.5 × 11 inch piece of paper — with works by internationally recognized artists hanging side by side with those by artists just emerging.

The third installment of Rosch's PAPER!AWESOME! (following editions in San Francisco in 2003 and 2005), Part 3 expanded his concept of surveying contemporary artists working with paper — whether through drawing, painting, print, collage, or sculpture. The salon-style hang below follows the gallery's two-floor checklist.
