Paper Biennial Rijswijk 2016

This summer, once again, the 11th Paper Biennial is submerging Museum Rijswijk in the multifaceted world of paper.

Since 1996 Museum Rijswijk has been hosting state-of-the-art, international paper art, every two years. Every year is different because contemporary art is constantly evolving. In the 2016 edition the focus is on large installations, but the craftsmanship of handmade paper has not been ignored.

Paper fair

On Sunday 11 September there is as always the paper market in the forecourt of the museum (11:00-17:00 hrs) and in the Old Church opposite (12:30-17:00 hrs).

Paper Biennial Rijswijk 2016
11 June - 18 September 2016

A swarm of thousands of sheets of crumpled papers, hung on thin wires, symbolic of thousands of ideas that have landed in the rubbish bin. A petit backyard made of paper, charcoal and plexiglass - life-like but sinister too. Vines of cardboard that twist and turn towards the sky, like a jungle. Organic forms like microbes, of self-made paper. But also, paper and geometry in folded, kinetic sculptures. Paper beyond boundaries through the use of digital technology. And… romantic viewing boxes with fragile plant structures impaled on pins.
