It is hard to define sculpture these days. Artists continue to make three-dimensional objects, but the range and variety of materials they employ defy classification. This is enchantingly evident in a show by the Armenian artist Karen Sargsyan at the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art. Mr. Sargsyan, 36, makes figurative sculptures from cut paper. The works in the current show were created during his stay in Peekskill last fall as the center's artist in residence. Depending on how you look at it, the exhibition consists of either hundreds of individual cut paper sculptures arranged across the mezzanine gallery or a single installation made up of many parts.

Is paper passe? Your answer will most likely depend on whether you're reading this sentence on newsprint or on a screen. But it's safe to say that artists and designers aren't ready to quit the stuff, at least by the measure of the latest show at the Museum of Arts and Design. They are, however, willing to pierce, shred, carve and slice it. ''Slash: Paper Under the Knife,'' the third show in the museum's Materials and Process series, explores the sometimes violent, always intricate art of paper cutting. (It follows ''Radical Lace and Subversive Knitting'' and ''Pricked: Extreme Embroidery'' in 2007 and 2008.) [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The brevity of Ree Morton's art career had little to do with the usual reasons for the disappearance of talented women. Morton had married and started a family before she became a full-time artist in the late 1960s, taking just a decade to get up to speed with all the major ''isms.'' She had a show at the Whitney Museum of American Art and an installation at the South Street Seaport and was the subject of an Artforum essay by the influential critic Lucy Lippard. Then in 1977 -- just shy of her 41st birthday -- Morton died in a car accident. Her death, coming not long after those of Eva Hesse in 1970 and Robert Smithson in 1973, dealt another cruel blow to postminimal sculpture. The art world recognized her achievements with a Morton retrospective at the New Museum in 1980. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The artist and poet Douglas Florian is best known for writing and illustrating award-winning children's books that are wittily educational, especially about animals. Working in gouache with collage, he depicts just about anything with an impressive combination of accuracy and improvisation and is similarly free with language. Mr. Florian, who always works on paper bags, has shown in art galleries since 1985, presenting work that is generally more abstract if no less playful than his illustrations. Here his excellent eye for color shines, and an organic multiculturalism is given full expression. Tantra, Elizabeth Murray, maps, free-range calligraphy, Marimekko handmade wrapping paper and Gerhard Richter all come to mind in this show of 33 small paintings, most done this year.

THURSDAY night is gallery trolling night in Chelsea, so it was not surprising last week to find a crowd upstairs at the Max Lang gallery, examining the early works of the interior designer Scott Sanders. Under the proud eye of the curator, Shirley Sanders, the crowd examined drawings like ''Self-Portrait With Rosy Cheeks,'' a crayon on paper, from 1969, which showed a grinning little boy in dark glasses who looked eerily like the 47-year-old Mr. Sanders looks today; ''Colonial Home,'' a ballpoint pen on paper, from 1977; and ''Mega Mansion,'' a marker-pen drawing on paper, from 1975, of a great house set on a hilly landscape.
