In this episode, we visit the exhibition Stories of Paper with the exhibition’s curators Xavier Salmon and Victor Hundsbuckler, respectively Director and Curator at the Department of Drawings & Prints at the Musée du Louvre.
Stories of Paper explores the special material’s qualities and how, even as digital technologies threaten to make paper obsolescent, this most universal of media continues to occupy an essential place in contemporary creativity, enquiry, and self-expression.
The exhibition Stories of Paper is on show at Louvre Abu Dhabi from the 20th of April until the 24th of July 2022.
On Show is a podcast produced by Louvre Abu Dhabi.
