In the year since the Museum of Art and Design reopened in its new digs on Columbus Circle, they've been delivering consistently compelling shows--from punk-rock lace to radical knitting experiments. The newest, "Slash: Paper Under the Knife" , opened last weekend and runs through April 4, 2010. The focus is paper--and the way contemporary artists have used paper itself as a medium, whether by cutting, tearing, burning, or shredding. In all, the show features 50 artists and a dozen installations made just for the show, including Andreas Kocks's Paperwork #701G (in the Beginning) , seen above. Here's a sampling of the other works on display: Mia Pearlman's Eddy : http://www.fastcompany.com/1414139/everything-paper-cut-eye-popping-ways-artists-use-paper

Linear Perspective is the most basic form of perspective in which all objects with faces parallel to the horizon, appear to converge in the distance at a single point on the horizon (the vanishing point). To learn what on Earth this possibly means, grab yourself: - a few sheets of 18" x 24" paper - a pencil - a straight metal ruler - a white mars plastic eraser
