Matt Shlian's paper engineering is both informed by and contributes to scientific understanding. His intricately cut and folded paper works can concretely illustrate what is usually seen only at a molecular level. He has over a dozen Youtube videos of his paper and book work in action. Visit his website to check out more of his work and read about his collaborations.
Anna Hepler
After checking out the site for Gouge: The Modern Woodcut at the Hammer Museum, I started looking for contemporary artists using the woodcut. I found this work by Anna Hepler. The floor project was done with students from Bowdoin College. The group of smaller prints is Hepler's own work which takes the woodcut in a nice painterly direction.
North Drive Press
I like this solution to digital content and physical object. North Drive Press has published five collections of work by contemporary artists. They exist as boxes which contain a loose grouping of multiples and text-based works and interviews. In addition, all of the text/interviews are online and viewable as PDFs.
Shannon Ebner
Apparently the web gods are not listening to my pleas to give me some page by page shots of artist Shannon Ebner's new book The Sun As Error. Until I get to see the book, here are some images of Ebner's work which usually consists of photographs of language-based sculptures she has created.
The current issue of Artforum includes an interesting essay by Ebner about the process of making her new book.
A pdf of an article and interview from A & P Quarterly which shows more incredible images is here.
