Surface to Structure: Folded Forms is an exhibition of artists who create timeless sculptures through folding. This collection of artwork will communicate the complexity and range of contemporary origami styles and earlier techniques that gave rise to modern origami, dating back to the times of Akira Yoshizawa. The gallery will showcase origami from masters as well as up and coming artists, and bring together an international collection of folded works to be easily accessible for public view. http://surfacetostructure.com twitter.com/origamiexhibit

Hi Friends!
Check out the work of artist Alessandro Beber, who had these two works on view in Surface to Structure: Folded Forms. If you didn't get a chance to see them in person at the exhibition two years ago, here's an opportunity to own some of his artwork and help advance his artistic career!

Fast Co.Create has released a new article on origami artist, consultant, physicist, and engineer Robert Lang.
On view at The Cooper Union until July 3rd we have four works by Robert Lang, two collaborations between Robert Lang and Kevin Box, and a photograph of the microscopic self-folding polymer described in this article.
Former NASA laser physicist Robert Lang applies computer programs and math to create seemingly impossible new origami designs.
"To understand the logic of these particularly complex structures requires some of the artists’ technical acumen from the viewer. But all of it is visually stunning and requires no computation to appreciate." - The Epoch Times

The exhibit Surface to Structure at Cooper Union shows how origami design has evolved with the use of imaging software and complex mathematics.

A precedent for our show, and an exhibition that we have referred to throughout, is Plane Geometry and Fancy Figures from 1959.
The beautiful 12-page publication accompanying the exhibition has been made free to view online by Smithsonian Institution Libraries:

To most of us, the boundaries of origami are pretty well established: You have your cranes, your elephants, and your paper footballs. But hundreds of artists around the world use origami as a technical framework for making original art--and now, 88 of those artists are getting a high-profile show of…
Monday vs Tuesday. The show before ours ended on Saturday night and we deinstalled. #picstitch
88 artists + over 130 works + roundtrip shipping = so many boxes.
