PLIAGE / FOLD brings together artists from different generations who have explored the act of folding as both concept and formal process. Folding as action, illusion, and symbol has appeared throughout contemporary art and literature, including Simon Hantaï's literal process of folding the canvas, dousing it in oil paint, then unfolding it to reveal inadvertent yet lyrical patterns; Gilles Deleuze's influential meditation The Fold: Leibniz and the Baroque (1988), in which the world is interpreted as an infinity of surfaces twisting through time and space; and Tatiana Found's recent Refoldings sculptures cast from discarded and refolded packing materials.
