The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art is pleased to present Lined and Torn: Paper Works from the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art Collection.
Lining and tearing represent two contrasting ways of looking at paper: as a flat space where deliberate marks can be created, or as a physical material that can be sliced, ripped, and shaped into sculptural pulp or crumpled waves. The artworks in this exhibition exemplify and combine those two ways of thinking, while also using the treatment of paper as a reflection of the emotional themes that can be seen throughout the adjacent East Gallery in The Emotional Show.

Venue
The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art believes everyone deserves access to art that challenges our understanding of the present and inspires us to create a future that holds space for us all. Located on the campus of one of the most racially diverse universities in the U.S., we strive to create a nourishing environment for those who continue to be neglected by contemporary art museums. As the only art museum in the city of Las Vegas, we commit ourselves to leveling barriers that limit access to the arts. Our collection of artworks offers an opportunity for everyone to develop a deeper knowledge of contemporary art in Southern Nevada. The Barrick Museum is part of the College of Fine Arts at the University of Nevada Las Vegas.
