About the exhibition: Katie Baldwin, Mariko Jesse, and Yoonmi Nam make up the artist collective wood+paper+box. They are also the creators of the 2023-2024 Gift Print and the focus of the exhibition. They met in Japan in 2004 at an artist residency and studied mokuhanga, the traditional Japanese woodblock printmaking technique. Artworks by wood+paper+box carry the spark born of shared experience and are created through collaboration, interaction, and friendship. They offer the idea of appreciating art not just by looking but also by touching and participating. In the exhibition, visitors can handle and interact with a sample gift print, Mise-en-Scène.
