Curator Ann Weber presents Cardboard:Infinite Possibilities at Wönzimer Gallery in DTLA

Ann Weber Cardboard:Infinite Possibilities Wönzimer Gallery, Los Angeles, CA January 2 - 30, 2026 Video by L.A. Art Documents / www.laartdocuments.com ________________________________________________________ Cardboard: Infinite Possibilities is a group exhibition featuring an international roster of twelve artists who redefine what is possible with this ubiquitous and unpretentious material. This exhibition celebrates cardboard as a powerful medium for innovation, transformation, and metaphor. Curated by Ann Weber, who is represented by Wönzimer Gallery, Cardboard: Infinite Possibilities highlights artists who have elevated cardboard from the everyday to the extraordinary. Weber, known for her monumental and sensuous sculptures made from discarded boxes, first began working with the material in 1991 after discovering architect Frank Gehry’s groundbreaking cardboard furniture. Gehry’s iconic Easy Edges Wiggle Chair (1972) will be featured in the exhibition, marking a full-circle moment that connects inspiration and influence across generations. “I am excited to bring together a diverse group of artists whose work reimagines this ubiquitous material in compelling, subversive, and beautiful ways.” - Ann Weber, Curator Sustainability and reinvention are central themes throughout the show. Shigeru Ban (Tokyo), internationally recognized for his humanitarian architecture, uses cardboard sonotubes to build rapid-response shelters and structures for communities affected by natural disasters, including those impacted by the January fires in Los Angeles. Artists such as Jodi Hays (Nashville) and Edgar Ramirez (Los Angeles) abuse, dye, layer, and paint cardboard to create striking large-scale wall works. Together, these artists reveal the vast creative potential of a material often overlooked, inviting viewers to reconsider notions of permanence, beauty, and value. Infinite possibilities indeed. Participating Artists: Shigeru Ban (Tokyo); Frank Gehry (Los Angeles); Tim Hawkinson (Los Angeles); Jodi Hays (Nashville); Narsiso Martinez (Los Angeles); Hector Dionicio Mendoza (Salinas); Jebila Okongwu (Rome); Edgar Ramirez (Los Angeles); Samuelle Richardson (Los Angeles); Michael Stutz (San Diego); Ann Weber (Los Angeles); Leonie Weber (Brooklyn) Text Source: https://www.wonzimer.com/
