Cardboardia Evolves

Hopefully you have been following our coverage of Cardboardia, one of our 2009 Grantees. They build and inhabit temporary towns made out of cardboard. In the summer of 2009 they inhabited 'towns' in Moscow, Russian, Finland and Germany.

Recently they exhibited at the Darvinovskii Museum. I love the sophistication of the wooley mammoths and dinosaurs and Cardboardia gives a special thanks to Tarina and Victorii who helped create them.

    Congratulations Dan, it is always great to see art featured in the news!
