Presenting the A4 PAPER FESTIVAL Video… a little snippet of what was seen at the festival including here at Opening Night on 31 May.

The Paper Convention Collective presented the first ever A4 PAPER FESTIVAL, unique to Sydney, Australia on 31 May – 5 June, which offered audiences insight into contemporary developments in paper by means of ground-breaking paper installations, lectures and workshops.

This grass-roots level event saw Lisa Loxley and The Paper Convention Collective direct 2 exhibitions, 2 opening nights, 6 workshops, 2 talks and 1 lecture over the course of 6 days to an audience in excess of over 2000 people.

Paper artists from around the world; UK, Japan, Columbia, Hong Kong and the US, highlighted the traditional medium ‘paper’ with Australian Paper Artists showcased astonishing results in all shapes and sizes.

With the reviews exceeding our premonitions, A4 was a success which bought attention to a discipline on the cusp of new possibilities, capturing the fantasy of the artists and general public alike. Digitalpress were a proud sponsor.

Paper really is reaching new artistic heights.
