<h3>Durational Performance with Natalie Waldburger</h3><h3>Wednesday, September 11, 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.</h3>

Discover the mesmerizing world of tessellated origami, where geometry and art collide in a dance of precision and beauty through a 4-hour durational performance with Natalie Waldburger!

Tessellation, in geometric terms, refers to the seamless coverage of an infinite plane with a repeatable pattern, without gaps or overlaps. This fascinating concept forms the foundation of tessellated origami, an abstract geometric art that transforms a single sheet of paper into a stunning array of repeated folds.

Waldburger’s large-scale origami tessellation sculptures bring this art form to life, documenting the intricate and physically demanding process of folding. Each piece emphasizes the tension between the structural rigidity of the paper and its ephemeral nature. The hours-long performance of creating these large-scale tessellations, featuring a larger-than-life image of the artist, highlights the collision between abstract, idealized geometric forms and the tangible reality of the material, capturing the ever-present potential for failure.

<h4>Experience the captivating artistry and deep narratives embedded in Waldburger’s origami tessellation sculptures and immerse yourself in the beauty and thought-provoking themes they present.</h4>
