Edible Paper Experiments, an Evolving Workshop

Founded in 1994, apexart is a non-profit arts organization in Lower Manhattan that offers opportunities to independent curators and emerging and established artists, and challenges ideas about art, its practice, and its curation. We realize this mission through our exhibitions, fellowships, publications, and public programs.291 Church Street, NYC

This three-day workshop explores collaborative, do-it-with-others styles of making to create edible paper using food waste. Starchy foods, fibrous vegetables or plants are ideal materials and, when blended or boiled, can provide the base pulp for making paper. The strength, texture and translucency will depend on what materials we start with. Each day will be an evolving experimental process generated by participants and daily food waste.
Come to the gallery anytime between 1:00-6:00pm and join artist, Andrew Gryf Paterson, in creating new forms from discarded scraps. You will have the chance to create your own edible paper from plants, vegetables and fruit. All are welcome to join.
Andrew Gryf Paterson (SCO/FI) is an artist-organizer, cultural producer, educator and independent researcher. He specializes in developing and leading inter/trans-disciplinary projects exploring connections between art, digital culture and science, cultural activism, ecological and sustainability movements, cultural heritage and collaborative networks. Originally from Scotland, Paterson has been most active in the past 14 years in the Baltic Sea region, based for most of the time in Helsinki, Finland. In recent years, he has been collaborating with Agnieszka Pokrywka, in Pixelache project 'Ferment Lab' activities. The overlap into food-hacking and paper-making emerged from this activity, and is an ongoing, curious experiment.
