Architects, fashion designers and artists use folding as a way to discover new forms. The results range from Marloes ten Bhömer’s shoe designs made from folded leather to physicist Robert Lang’s 400-scale origami fish.
Lang, a pioneer in ‘computational origami’, has taken paper creasing to an unprecedented level of complexity, creating near-lifelike centipedes and tarantulas. He has created software that prints the crease lines so that anyone can recreate his seemingly impossible models.
Architect Sophia Vyzoviti uses folding to discover new shapes in an intuitive way. The resulting unpredictable yet innovative forms may be used in architecture, fashion and product design.
Fashion designer Zoe Bradley’s fantastic, sculptural paper dress will serve as the exhibition’s centrepiece. An accompanying documentary film will reveal her hands-on creative process and the unlimited possibilities that arise out of it.
exhibition:
Folding
paper and origami as an art form
Opening August 11th, 16:00.
Computational origami, paper architecture, folding t-shirts, folding flags, folding in clothing... Folds are a beautiful way to introduce an extra dimension to an otherwise two-dimensional space.
