artistic and commercial production, <em>Made with Paper</em> highlighted the manifold ways in which paper can be rendered and utilized for both corporate and artistic purposes. This exhibition presented more than 200 paper-derived objects from more than 16 countries, comprising a mixture of folk art, crafts, designed objects, and formalistic art. Among the objects featured were papier-mâché masks from Mexico, paper kimonos from Japan, elaborate paperboard and corrugated cardboard sculptures, and prototype commodity objects made of plastic-coated paper, such as cradles, men's dress pants, and portable urinals.</p> <p>To foreground the environmental aspects of <em>Made with Paper</em>, visitors were given complimentary pairs of paper slippers to wear in an installation with glass flooring, which was supported by square modules of molded paper. As a form of community outreach with the Chicago Public School system, students from a local high school were invited to exhibit nine-to-twelve-foot papier-mâché figures of cheerleaders, football players, and referees on the roof of the MCA's 237 East Ontario Street location.</p> <p><em>Made with Paper</em> was organized by the Museum of Contemporary Crafts, New York, and the Container Corporation.</p> </section> <section id="funding" aria-describedby="AS3H2" data-size="103" data-cwc="1" class="blurb"> <h2 id="AS3H2">Funding</h2> <p>This exhibition was supported in part by The
