Sarasota News Leader November 15, 2013 Page 141 ENJOY SOME PULP CULTURE AT ART CENTER SARASOTA As part of Art Center Sarasota's first exhibition in its 2013-14 exhibition season, Pulp Culture, a group exhibition devoted to the power of paper, opened Nov. 7 and will run through Jan. 3, the gallery has announced. Pulp Culture showcases works by Matt Cusick, Tasha Lewis, Wilks Mammone, Matthew Shlian and Annie Vought. Three artist's books on loan from Ringling College's Verman Kimbrough Library will also be displayed, a news release explains. Emma Thurgood, Art Center Sarasota's exhibitions' coordinator and curator of this exhibit, "freely admits to her love affair with The Herd by Tasha Lewis. Contributed photo paper," the release continues. "The look, the feel, the smell and, on occasion, the taste all captivate my attention," she says in the release. "Paper's most desirable quality is its versatility. Paper can be so much more than writing or drawing material. Fold paper and it becomes a three-dimensional object with form and weight. Cut paper, and you become aware of the teetering balance between its strength and weakness. Paper as a found object gives a new layer of meaning to the writings and drawings placed upon them. 'Pulp Culture' explores all of these ideas, celebrating paper in an increasingly paperless world."
