Cutting and Pasting a World: The Paper Craft of Henry Darger
@ Intuit Art Museum
756 N Milwaukee Ave., Chicago, IL 60642
Opening Wednesday, June 10th, from 6PM - 8PM
You’re invited to celebrate the opening of Cutting and Pasting a World: The Paper Craft of Henry Darger.
We are proud to participate in Handwork: Celebrating American Craft 2026, a nationwide initiative led by Craft in America to honor the handmade during America’s Semiquincentennial. Through Cutting and Pasting a World: The Paper Craft of Henry Darger, an exhibition exploring the connection between Henry Darger’s art and traditional American paper crafts, we join museums, artists and organizations nationwide in celebrating the craft traditions that connect us through history and time. Drawing on research by guest curator Dr. Mary Trent, the exhibition illustrates how the turn-of-the-century practices of making paper dolls and paper dollhouse scrapbooks may have influenced Darger’s evolution as an artist and maker.
