Masters of Origami now Open
Miri, Abeer and myself have returned from the 'Masters of Origami' opening at Hangar-7 in Salzburg, Austria, amazed by the extraordinary events of the week. The origami exhibition had contributions from more than 60 'Masters'. About 20 were personally invited to the opening, including Tomoko Fuse, Dave Brill, Saburo Kase, Eric Joisel, Vincent Floderer, Robert Lang, Joseph Wu, Michael LaFosse, Makoto Yamaguchi, Jonathan Baxter, Nick Robinson and the widow of Akira Yoshizawa. Other invited 'Masters' and other contributing artists also attended, including our own Saadya, Heinz Strobl, Silke Schroeder and Paulo Mulatinho, and Austria's own Peter Paul Forcher. About 450 guests attended the spectacular opening night in the extraordinary hi-tech surroundings of Hangar-7 ('the most beautiful hangar in the world'). The next day the 'Masters' were given a memorable low-level trip around Austria in Hangar-7's own renovated DC-6. There is a beautiful book of the exhibition, soon to be available, plus lots of free goodies available to people who visit the exhibition. The exhibition has received massive publicity in Austria, and also in Germany too. The organisors say that 3,500 people visited the exhibition in the weekend after the opening, described as 'overwhelming'. The Israeli Origami Center will soon have copies of the most utterly fantabulistic 'Paper Music' CD (by me!) and Miri's equally fantabulistic 'Origami as a Learning Tool' booklet. We also have about 20-25 copies of the beautiful MoO poster (approx 42 x 60cm) to give away, perhaps at the next Fan Club meeting. The exhibition is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for origami. Probably not for many years will another sponsor support an origami exhibition as generously as Red Bull. Please click on the links below to learn more about this unique event. Paul Jackson
