Once could assert that art can sometimes be an outward expression of non-conformism, a physical rendering of a counterculture sensibility. Perhaps it is that in part – a reaction to a world that is nonsensical, to create cohesion out of chaos in the way which is most meaningful for you. Mark di Suvero, an American-based abstract expressionist sculptor known for creating colossal steel structures, has asserted himself at certain points in his life to be a Communist. This bohemian worldview was perhaps simply a result of his time spent in San Francisco and New York, the child of Italian immigrants, who studied philosophy in college. Additionally, Di Suvero is proud of the membership of his hired crane operators in unions and also of his multiple political arrests (during the Vietnam War and also the Republican National Convention held in 2004). While di Suvero has always expressed these social views on a public forum without reservation, they have softened over time as his second wife worked closely with Michael Bloomberg, as a cultural affairs commissioner for an extended period.Mark di Suvero’s installations certainly could be interpreted as a representation of the working man, the every man, the laborer and capitalist man (employing the proletariat) that can be found in all of us. His work has evolved over time from primary usage of wooden timber derived from the demolition of buildings, scrap metal and sculptural steel over to a strong primary focus on steel plates and H-beams. Many of the pieces are, in part, in free-motion and can swing and rotate. The artist takes a very active role in the creation of his work, even now that he has surpassed 80 years of age. All of these elements fit nicely into his socialist worldview – one that he has expressed time and again through his steady stream of important works – marking his stamp on the world stage wherever he goes.“I used to tell people I’m a Communist, because I believe that there are these things that we share. We share language. We share mathematics. The clothes that you wear, you probably didn’t sew on. The food that we eat, we did not grow. We depend on other people. We live in a communal world.”-Mark di Suvero

Paul Jackson se define como un Artista del Papel, inició con el origami y eso lo llevó a explorar diversos aspectos de la ingeniería de papel, incluyendo los Popups. Sus obras le han sido encargadas para usarlas en mercadotécnia y publicidad, anuncios en folletos, revistas y periódicos, así como comerciales de televisión, aunque su interés principal es en el arte y la enseñanza. En particular son interesantes y hermosas sus obras resultado de exploraciones minimalistas de un sólo doblez (One Crease) (increíble que con un único pliegue se logre tanta belleza en esa aparente simplicidad), o lo contrario: Amontonamiento de dobleces (Crumpling), además de sus exploraciones geométricas y con los empaques (artísticos) de productos, todo lo cual agrupa dentro de esculturas plegadas (folded scultures). En cuanto a los cursos y talleres que imparte es interesante lo que dice: "es importante por lo menos el declarar que no enseño origami. Más bien enseño las técnicas para la creación de formas 3-D a partir de hojas de material 2-D, no necesariamente el papel. El nombre genérico que doy a estos cursos es 'De la Hoja de Forma'. Los talleres tienden a ser similares (los fundamentos son básicos), pero los proyectos difieren de acuerdo a cada materia, por lo que un estudiante de Joyería dará un énfasis diferente a alguna técnica que el de un estudiante de moda o un estudiante de arquitectura." En el sitio incluye fotos de sus obras, además de los trabajos de sus alumnos y para encontrar el tema que nos interesa más: el de los popups, primero hay que entrar en ingeniería de papel y de allí a los enlaces a Pop-ups. También hay una sección sobre los libros que ha publicado, en particular el de "The Pop-Up Book: Step-by-Step Instructions for Creating Over 100 Original Paper Projects" (El Libro Popup: Instrucciones paso a paso para crera más de 100 proyectos originales de papel). http://www.origami-artist.com/ Nos dice Paul Johnson en su sitio web: "Junto a mi interés en origami ha crecido el interés en la ingeniería de papel - es decir, la combinación de corte y plegado en la misma hoja. De alguna manera, corte y plegado son opuestos: el doblar contrae la hoja, mientras que el corte la expande, de manera que al usar los dos juntos se pueden crear formas imposibles de lograr por solamente plegar. Las dos principales formas en que he utilizado la ingeniería de papel son los pop-ups, así como los empaques, aunque también la he utilizado en otras formas." Si deseas tener el libro "The Pop-Up Book: Step-by-Step Instructions for Creating Over 100 Original Paper Projects" de Paul Jackson, pongo el siguiente enlace:
