内容简介

自公元前100年发明以来，纸一直是文明的基石和人类经验的关键组成部分。

艺术家Matthew Shlian一直认为纸作为实验和理解材料的重要性。

在他的手中，工程、科学和几何学都可以在纸这一媒介中表达出来。

折叠、镶嵌、压缩、外推——二维的纸张以一种美丽而意想不到的方式变成了三维的雕塑。

《展开》是Shlian在过去十年里的全部作品的一个完整概述，包括小型和大型作品、未见的发展速写本、与科学研究人员和科学家的合作、三维浮雕和雕塑——都是在纸上的。

这本书以全彩色印刷在两个纸库上，内容包括斯图尔特·凯斯滕鲍姆和这位艺术家之间的采访，以及由著名作家劳伦斯·韦施勒和设计学者埃里克·布鲁格撰写的文章。

为了与Shlian的工作的几何基础保持一致，这本书的尺寸是“16的立方”:16厘米的平方乘以16厘米的平方乘以16个16页的签名。

Since its invention in c.100 BC, paper has been a cornerstone of civilization and a key component of the human experience. Artist Matthew Shlian has always recognized paper’s significance as a material for experimentation and understanding. In his hands, engineering, science and geometry can all be expressed within the medium of paper. Folded, tessellated, compressed, extrapolated – two-dimensional paper becomes three-dimensional sculpture in beautiful and unexpected ways. 

Unfolding is a complete overview of Shlian’s oeuvre over the past ten years, including small- and large-scale works, unseen development sketchbooks, collaborations with scientific researchers and scientists, three-dimension reliefs and sculpture – all in paper. Printed in full colour on two paper stocks, the book features an interview between Stuart Kestenbaum and the artist, and essays by acclaimed writer Lawrence Weschler anddesign scholar Eric Broug. In keeping with the geometric underpinning of Shlian’s work, the dimensions of the book are ‘16 cubed’: 16cm squared by 16cm squared by 16 signatures of 16 pages.
