Art in the Fold Gallery Exhibition ACCI Gallery | 1652 Shattuck Ave Open through March 22
Looking for creative inspiration? Art in the Fold, the newest gallery show at ACCI Gallery, is now open! This exhibit spans the breadth of folded artistry, from fabric pleating to the fold-forming of metal, paper origami, two-dimensional representations of the fold, and more. As opposed to an additive or subtractive process, folding material into a sculpture is a transformation, adding nothing and leaving out nothing, "just" rearranging the shape.
Running February 21 - March 22, 2026, this exhibition showcases the unmeasured ingenuity of artists and craftspeople who rely on or use folding in shaping the work itself or its support, or through the representation of folding or folded objects. |
