The Paper Crane

The Paper Crane is an online art blog that chron­i­cles art prac­tices through a locus of exchange between local and inter­na­tional con­tem­po­rary art com­mu­ni­ties. The site serves to sup­port a com­mu­nity of artists work­ing in var­i­ous medi­ums through con­tem­po­rary crit­i­cal writ­ing. The blog probes the impor­tance and dif­fi­culty of sit­u­at­ing aes­thetic objects within their broader social and polit­i­cal con­texts through crit­i­cal writing.
