Carlo Adinolfi, who designed the set, projections and larger-than-life puppetry for "PackRat," has created amazingly expressive rodents, reptiles, birds of prey, a jack rabbit — and even Cowgirl, the cigar-smoking driver — from wood, papier-mâché, cardboard, wire and, fittingly, recycled trash.
An orange Gucci minidress with a frilly black neckline that she wore at the British Independent Film Awards and a brown print Rodarte with papier-mâché-like white bust at the "Collateral Beauty" London premiere read costume-y on her lithe frame.

In Mexican Day of the Dead papier mâché statuettes, Japanese kokeshi (painted wooden dolls), Hopi beadwork figures, puppet theaters, and many other varieties of folk art, Girard found the same synthesis of color and expressive form that he brought to his own modernist work.
In "Preservation of Forgetting" (2017), she assembled objects that "people did not want" into large, sculptural works, unifying disparate materials with a neutralizing layer of brown papier-mâché, the application of which feeds her self-described "haptic obsession" with repetitive touch in art making.
Davis eventually has us follow the fortunes of a cast of nine fictional artists, including Dolores, a performance artist (think of a slightly gentler Marina Abramovic); Ju-Long, a sculptor; Twicetwo, who works in "massive multimedia"; and Richard, whose practice involves humble papier-mâché.

The Austrian sculptor Franz West, who died in 2012 and was known for his large works of plaster or papier-mâché that began with found objects like cardboard boxes and wound up as elaborate abstracts, also used the material to evoke a subtle melancholy.
In one room are single works by several of the original, Soho-era artists, including Franz West's "Pleonasme (Pleonasm)" (1999), a predominantly reddish-orange, mixed media (papier-mâché, plastic, plaster, glue, and paint) sculpture atop a wood-and-MDF pedestal made by the artist.
Other national presentations that garnered praise included those of the United States, which the artist Mark Bradford endowed with a downbeat but powerful sequences of paintings and papier-mâché sculptures, and Romania, which featured a poetic mini-retrospective of the 91-year-old artist Geta Bratescu.
A papier-mâché costume of a golem (a mythical creature brought to life from clay) designed by Robert Wilson for a stage production stands next to an ornate dress of the sort worn by Sephardic brides in 19th-century Morocco, garlanded with gold ribbons and passementerie.

It also adds to the movie's oddball bestiary: an aristocratic dowager who sleeps with her pet monkey, Satan; an ex-chief of police reduced to peddling caged birds that are carried on his back; and outsize papier-mâché swans that adorn a fantastic carousel in several key scenes.
But for the most part, Kestler's discoveries are from farther afield: a beaded yellow parakeet from Syria, an inflatable blue cat from Japan, a pair of latticed gold jutti slippers from northern India and a papier-mâché mask depicting the Hindu goddess Kali, with her lolling blood-red tongue.
Examine the naked back in "Room With a View," dashed off in a patchwork of brown, pink and brick-red; the squiggly water in "Watersports"; or "Thank You," a portrait of a plastic shopping bag whose layers of crisscrossing strokes have the methodical space-covering glee of papier-mâché.
Viewers were delighted, dazzled, and enthralled by seeing different-sized models and spatial re-imaginings of subway cars, newsstands, buses, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Staten Island Ferry, the Twin Towers, and the Apollo Theater made out of all different kinds of material — including papier-mâché, plastic, fiberglass, wood, and vinyl.
Like clay, papier-mâché is infinitely moldable, but instead of coming straight from the earth, a noble mix of raw minerals, it has lived another life entirely, from tree to pulp to industrial printing press to breakfast table to garbage bin to art, before emerging entirely unrecognizable in sculptural form.
The couple undertook an expansion of the French-style house in the 1940s, ordering an Aztec-inspired extension from Juan O'Gorman (better known for his astounding mosaics at Mexico City's main university) and decorating it with indigenous stone statuary, papier-mâché figurines, painted gourds and a healthy mix of pets.
The lead video, "Eating Makeup," featuring the singular drone of Le Tigre's Kathleen Hanna (whom Bogart, currently a fresh-faced 35, opened for at age 20 as the lone boy in the Bay Area quartet Gravy Train!!!!), uses a giant papier-mâché makeup compact as a stand-in for the legendary Riot Grrrl.
New York City artist Alex Gardega is so against the Fearless Girl statue that he decided to respond with a sculpture of his own: a papier-mâché sculpture of a small dog lifting its hind leg to pee on the bronze sculpture planted in front Arturo Di Modica's Charging Bull earlier this year.
Along with groups like the International Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF), the Knights of Pythias, the Woodmen of the World, and others, the Freemasons and fellow secret societies left a profoundly strange visual legacy of papier-mâché skeletons, ostentatious costumes, ritual objects, and a few wooden goats now removed from their original contexts.
It was somewhere around the gratuitous dim sum snack station that I found myself truly bowled over by a wildly entrancing assemblage in the shape of a woman comprised of newspaper papier-mâché, lace, wool, plastic baby figurines, and spider webs from 1964 by Niki de Saint Phalle at Galerie Georges-Philippe & Nathalie Vallois.
Our favorite scene in the Robin Williams Oscarbait-y, based-on-a-true-story medical dramedy Patch Adams is when Patch, still a med student, welcomes a group of visiting gynecologists with a giant papier mâché sculpture of a woman's spread legs, between which they have to pass to enter an auditorium hosting a conference.
V. Putin, meanwhile, hoists papiermâché "barbells" while ruthlessly pressing his campaign of praising the vain rookie U.S. President D. Trump at every turn—a transparent Kremlin attempt to shut out life-of-the-party Kim Jong-un by making him seem, by contrast, like an unfunny midget warlord who feeds uncles to dogs.
There's also a dried, bound foot from 1874; a deeply unnerving doll called "Michelle," which was used to demonstrate nonsurgical techniques for removing objects from children's throats; a prosthetic arm from the 1930s with springs for fingers; a 1789 example of anthropodermic bibliopegy (a book bound in human skin); and a fantastically realistic late-19th-century papier-mâché eyeball.
As North goes on to state, in response to Bloom's theory of poetry, which he fleshed out in The Anxiety of Influence (1973): The point is that criticism has shaky ground to operate on but better shaky than papier-mâché, better to fumble around and dig out possibilities and be aware they're that, than to be content with systems.
The Chairman was so insouciant about nuclear weapons, dismissing them as teeth in the papier-mâché tiger, that as China took steps to join the nuclear cartel, the United States and the Soviet Union approached each other at various times in the 1960s about cooperating in a preemptive strike to strangle Red China's nuclear baby in the cradle.
Paradoxically strong and durable despite its lightness, papier-mâché became an industry; by the mid-21984s, at least 30 English manufacturers were making decorative and useful objects and furniture from it, including tables, chairs and canopy bed frames, though the pieces eventually became too kitschy for even the embellishment-mad Victorians and fell out of fashion.
The artist David Wojnarowicz, who died of complications from AIDS in 1992 and whose work combined a polymathic ingenuity with political fury and hope, used papier-mâché in several installations, most memorably "Untitled (Burning Child)" (1984), in which a mannequin of a small boy running has been entirely collaged with maps; flames shoot from his back, arms and legs.
Donors will receive rewards, including art swag from collective members, including Gayer, Mary Frank, Tom Klem, Nancy Chunn, Nancy Davidson, and Susannah Stern — as well as high-tier rewards including the honor of having your name tattooed on the inflatable butt, or an actual We Make America 4' papier-mâché (or inflatable) shoe or butt — presumably after they are done marching with it.
The gallery is filled with artfully arranged scrap, including the mold used to cast the parts of the dome on view at the Hammer, another set of painted muslin circles (this time draped over a steel rack), pieces of Ram Board stained with acrylic, and some papier-mâché works cast from the dome's mold, that curve up from the floor onto the wall.
From "Black Rain", through "Misery"'s script tattooable declaration that "misery never goes out of style", and onto the closing, ballroom-ready piano of "I Choose to Live", the thousand Topman-clad clones of British rock's recent years are deftly consigned to the bin – the "papier mâché feeling", as Gould calls it, of insincere, bland radio-rock has no place here.
As a member of Be the Change Turlock, a new grass-roots group of self-described "pissed-off middle-aged ladies who are into arts and crafts," Ms. Strahm is among those who have been dogging Mr. Denham with papier-mâché effigies and on social media, with pictures of milk cartons featuring the congressman and the word "missing" in bold capital letters.
Perched atop five round white pedestals of varying heights, in Sam Anderson's show, "A Flower is a Lovesome Thing," at Chapter, are a slender papier-mâché princess; two grotesque babies with snowball heads and wooden struts for legs; a found ceramic hippo; and a tube of Babyganics sunscreen, its bold graphic sun logo peeking up over a collar of tape rolls.

It Is the Face of Protest" by Sara Barrett: In an article that appeared during the original run of "V for Vendetta," Mr. Moore credits the idea to base V on Fawkes to Mr. Lloyd, who wrote: "Why don't we portray him as a resurrected Guy Fawkes, complete with one of those papier-mâché masks, in a cape and conical hat?
A Hail Mary campaign earlier this year imploring shoppers to go inside even as the store declared bankruptcy ("STRUT STRUT STRUT STRUT STRUT STRUT") was but a faint echo of the era when subversive tableaus of papier-mâché public figures, found objects, condoms on Christmas trees and the occasional scampering vermin mesmerized crowds, offended cardinals and even sold some clothes.
Influenced by the politically radical Bread and Puppet Theater collective, founded by Peter Schumann on the Lower East Side in the 1960s (the company would share fresh-made loaves and homemade aioli with their audiences), a young Kiki Smith made papier-mâché sculptures such as "Hard Soft Bodies" (1992), which consists of two female torsos hanging, like ghostly husks, against the wall.
Her earlier work, from the 1990s and continuing into the next decade, was an unrelenting confrontation with the human body, mostly female, parts and all: intestines made from iron affixed to the wall like a radiator; a bronze of a girl being straddled by a goat, a papier-mâché torso with breasts like empty dry-cleaning bags; a full-size woman in wax, skin partly flayed.
A large-scale installation composed of papier-mâché figures of Latino immigrants sitting around bleachers built into the gallery interior, the work appears to take a swing at current anti-immigrant feeling in the US. By placing the viewer into the midst of these figures, Murillo effectively reverses the way we tend to think about art objects, suggesting that it is art that hosts us rather than vice versa.
The exhibition, which kicked off with a dinner of maize-based dishes inspired by a pagan harvest festival, included sheaths of corn hung from the 16-foot ceiling by the British sculptor Rowan Mersh and an immersive field of bearded wheat, oats and barley stalks by the Israeli design duo Raw Edges near a cluster of papier-mâché box shelves in neutral hues by the young Spanish designer Nacho Carbonell.
Conceived, designed and directed by Theodora Skipitares, who has been active Off Off Broadway since the late 1970s, "Transfiguration" is theatrical time travel: to the 18th century of Benjamin Banneker, a self-taught African-American mathematician and astronomer, but also to the days — more recent but rapidly receding from memory — of a bohemian, avant-garde scene from the East Village that combined earnestness, engaged politics and wackadoo papier-mâché aesthetics.
It's an asylum of architecture and endless sustainability: handmade papier-mâché, recycled from the office's paper waste, line the walls; most of the furniture is made of recycled materials, including reclaimed timber as sculptural plinths, foam, and vintage hand selected furniture; mannequins are made from a bioplastic material composed of 72% sugarcane derivative (which enables for significant reduction of Co2 emissions) — all this and more reflect the brand's philosophy to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
I could continue to expound on the individual works — the coarse, delicious pointillism of "Dot Universe" (2018) by Jason Luckoff; Jacob Barron's small, tombstone-like monuments made from found and cut scrap wood and assembled, along with a stream-of-consciousness narrative, into "journal pages"; the evocative and vulnerable little papier-mâché "Huckleberry Mountain" (2018) by Brian Nanry, whose work is largely inspired by alien landscapes — but perhaps it's time for the reveal.
Even back in elementary school, I can remember waking up lethargically and dreading leaving the house—I would much rather have stayed at home and focused on the things that I actually wanted to learn about, perfecting the flour-to-water ratio of my papier-mâché paste, strategically rearranging the carnivorous Venus fly traps and pitcher plants in my terrarium, or helping Ma prepare the ingredients for her daily Tamil cooking, scraping coconuts using a hand-cranked tool from Sri Lanka that resembled a medieval torture device.
From the souvenir shop on the ground floor, with its wooden cases of shells, toy boats and leering papier-mâché masks sold for Ostend's springtime carnival, to the stuffy parlors with vases of feathers, elaborately patterned wall-to-wall Brussels carpeting, damask curtains and bric-a-brac everywhere, it's a stifling terrarium-like place where it's easy to imagine Ensor in his waistcoat and waxed mustache playing his harmonium in front of one of his best-known works, "The Entry of Christ in Brussels," today hanging at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles.
