2025 Paper Variables
2025 Paper Variables
Diana Al-Hadid, Abdolreza Aminlari, Chitra Ganesh
JANUARY 7 - MARCH 27, 2026
Jordan Schnitzer Gallery at Dieu Donné
Brooklyn Navy Yard, Building 3, Suite 602, 11205
For 25 years, Dieu Donné has worked with artists to create exclusive works in numbered series, handmade in our studios from wet paper pulp. Though the Paper Variables are produced iteratively and numbered like print editions, no two works in paper pulp are ever exactly the same. Artists are invited to experiment with color, shape, and texture variations to make each piece distinctive. This exhibition, which showcases the 2025 Paper Variables by Diana Al-Hadid, Abdolreza Aminlari, and Chitra Ganesh, celebrates difference in repetition.
