Stemming from ancient Egyptian papyrus and invented in China during the Han Dynasty, paper became a versatile foundation for ink, graphite, and paint. In the wake of the French Revolution, Nicholas-Louis Robert developed a paper-making machine, accelerating the production of newspapers and books. The work in our December exhibition celebrates innovative works on paper nearly two thousand years after it appeared on the scene.
Kirsten Bengtson-Lykoudis (she/her/hers) serves as staff writer, archivist, and curator for NOT REAL ART. She enjoys rambling through NRA’s vast digital archive of contemporary artworks and getting to know the people behind them. After growing up in the Twin Cities, Kirsten darted between Florida, Russia, Sweden, New York, France, Italy, the Aegean Islands, and Washington, DC, before landing in Richmond, Virginia. A former New York gallery director, photographer, caterer, student of Russian literature, devout polyglot, and creative-nonfiction writer, she is currently plotting her next trip to Greece.
