The new Paper Art Award<\/strong> is presented for outstanding positions in contemporary paper art. With this award, Hahnem\u00fchle and its partners d’mage<\/a>, Canon<\/a>, and paper positions berlin<\/a> pay tribute to paper as a material in the visual arts. Together, the partners are also opening the world’s first paper art museum, Haus des Papiers<\/strong>, in Berlin. The aim: to promote the value and significance of paper art.<\/p>\n Hahnem\u00fchle, d’mage and Canon have been cooperating and committed to sculptural paper art since 2017. As a result, the summer ateliers Paper Residency !<\/a> under the direction of d’mage have evolved. Each year, four scholarship holders are given the opportunity to work freely and extensively with paper without cost pressure. The concept allows a playful sculptural and\/or three-dimensional processing of, among others, large-format, and fine art prints. Within this framework, many creative and unique paper artworks have already been created. A few selected ones were shown for the first time at the paper positions berlin in September 2020 and met with great enthusiasm. Inspired by the artworks and reactions, the concept of the joint award and paper art museum was formed.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
