'Paraventi: Folding Screens from the 17th to 21st Centuries' is an exhibition curated by Nicholas Cullinan, director of the National Portrait Gallery, that investigates the histories and semantics of folding screens by tracing trajectories of cross-pollination between East and West, processes of hybridization between different art forms and functions, collaborative relationshipsbetween designers and artists, and the emergence of newly created works. The exhibition design created for the Podium building by SANAA, gathers more than seventy folding screens, including valuable historical objects and more recent works, and a selection of new creations commissioned from more than fifteen international artists for this project.
