Dripping Folds and Melting States<\/span><\/i> is published in conjunction with the young artist Valentina Jaff\u00e9\u2019s most extensive institutional solo exhibition to date. Blending artist\u2019s book and catalogue, the volume gathers works from the past five years by Jaff\u00e9, who lives and works in the Rhine\u2013Neckar metropolitan region. Taking an interdisciplinary and inter-media approach, she continually refines the conception of collage that is central to her art. Her creative universe is informed by intersections, imbrications, and the exploration of in-between states\u2014by the concurrence of mutability and constancy.<\/span><\/p>\n Created out of long-fibered paper and awash in color, the artist\u2019s visual spaces are transformed with each new environment and have an air of breathing membranes. Her ceramics, meanwhile, play with contrasts of hardness and softness, fragility and stability, coldness and warmth. The book reflects Jaff\u00e9\u2019s multifaceted experimentation and is enhanced by scholarly contributions by Carolin Heel and Fedra Benoli, who add depth to her engagement with space, body, and material.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dripping Folds and Melting States<\/span><\/i> is published in conjunction with the young artist Valentina Jaff\u00e9\u2019s most extensive institutional solo exhibition to date.
