The exhibition “PAPER ON PAPER – and other routines” presents the photopolymer series Paper on Paper and Aside by Elena Grudzinskaitė.

The works are an inquiry into the daily artistic practice and the seemingly monotonous encounters with a repetitive environment.

Paper on paper is various paper fragments and scraps used in an artist’s daily life for storing, archiving and preserving prints that are creatively transferred onto photopolymer plates.

The artist wants to create an opportunity to reflect on the continuity of the creative process by presenting collections of recycled secondary artistic raw materials in a print format. Her personal philosophy of sustainable creation is realized by applying a unique method of “utilizing” the artistic archive and conscious act of creation from old to new.

Aside presents familiar, monotonous images seen from the perspective of a dweller, wanderer or traveller moving through everyday life. It captures what you register in the peripheral of your vision: Ordinary objects, situations, and elements of the landscape that remain at the margins – passed by, passed through, or ignored. Yet these overlooked elements form the unadorned texture of present reality.

About the residency and exhibition
Working at Munk Print Lab 16-20 of March, Elena Grudzinskaitė will develop the Paper on Paper project with the paper material from the print lab studio.

The residence will be a way of collaboration between the studios, the artists, exploration of the environment through the medium of paper.
