On Saturday, December 28 from 12 to 12:30 p.m., artist Colette Fu will open the pop-up book Noodle Mountain, followed by a short artist talk, in the Domestic Arts Building at Grounds For Sculpture where a portion of the ‘Slow Motion” exhibition is located.

Noodle Mountain contemplates deeply personal memories, as well as the intergenerational histories of place, labor, and diaspora that food can conjure. Future activation dates include March 22 at, at 1 p.m. and May 17 at 12 p.m.

Born in Princeton in 1969, Fu is a Philadelphia-based artist who received her MFA in Fine Art Photography from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2003, and soon after began devising complex compositions that incorporate photography and pop-up paper engineering. Her pop-up books are included in the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Library of Congress, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Getty Research Institute, and many private and rare archive collections.

Fu’s numerous awards and grants include a Forman Arts Initiative Art Works grant, Philadelphia Cultural Treasures grant, Joan Mitchell Painter’s & Sculptors Fellowship, the Meggendorfer Prize, Leeway Transformation Award, and a Fulbright Research Fellowship to China. She exhibits widely and teaches pop-up courses and community workshops internationally.
