Quite a few artists also try out the material’s sculptural possibilities, thus the choice of preposition in the show’s title. Paper is crumpled and strung on a line, shaped into flowers, cut and glued, encrusted with dirt and formed into loops. Fran Siegel’s expansive cyanotype and pigment collage has the heft and texture of a woven tapestry and the haunting presence of a photographic trace. Justin Beal’s two gorgeous gouaches provide the show’s sensual epicenter. Topographic fields in a spectrum of rich, warm blacks, they read as prints (and are, in fact, made by a transfer process, using crumpled plastic). Other artists giving this scrappy show some real substance include John Sonsini, Aaron Morse, Dawn Clements, David Korty, Roger Herman, Monique van Genderen and Neal Tait.

Robbie Robertson actually worked in a sideshow years before, in the Band, he co-wrote “Life is a Carnival.”
It’s a terrific tune – but how much greater would it have been if Robertson had worked at Sailfest? because our New London extravaganza – taking place in all its neon glory Friday through Sunday – is surely the finest and most expansive representation of any capital-C Carnival not taking place in Rio or New Orleans.
